Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular therapy is a specialized manual approach integrating techniques to address pain from nerve and muscle imbalances. It serves clients with complex pain issues, such as post-surgery patients or those with postural dysfunction.

• A specialized manual therapy blending techniques like trigger point therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue, and facilitated stretching.
• Targets five pain-causing elements: nerve compression, reduced blood flow, biomechanical dysfunction, postural distortion, and trigger points.
• Aims to restore balance and function by addressing neuromuscular imbalances—issues tied to the interplay of the nervous and muscular systems.
• Uses precise pressure on trigger points to relieve pain and encourage healing at the source.
•Often an active experience, empowering clients to participate in their recovery rather than remaining passive.

Neuromuscular massage therapy is a specialized form of manual therapy that encompasses a range of techniques, including trigger point therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue work, and facilitated stretching. It addresses five key pain-causing factors: nerve compression, reduced blood flow, biomechanical dysfunction, postural distortion, and trigger points. By focusing on neuromuscular imbalances—disruptions in the interplay between the nervous and muscular systems—this therapy seeks to restore balance and functionality. Therapists apply precise pressure to targeted trigger points, alleviating pain and fostering healing at its source. Unlike more passive modalities, neuromuscular therapy often engages clients actively in their recovery, empowering them to participate in the process. This dynamic approach tackles the root causes of pain and dysfunction, offering a comprehensive path to relief.
