What is Neuromuscular Therapy?
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specialized form of manual therapy that focuses on treating pain and dysfunction in the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It is designed to address the root causes of pain rather than just alleviating symptoms, making it an effective approach for both acute and chronic conditions.
​
Key Aspects of Neuromuscular Therapy:
-
Trigger Point Therapy: Identifies and releases trigger points, which are hyper-irritable areas in muscle tissue that can refer pain to other parts of the body.
-
Postural Assessment and Correction: Evaluates and corrects imbalances in posture and alignment that contribute to pain or restricted movement.
-
Soft Tissue Manipulation: Uses targeted techniques to improve circulation, reduce tension, and enhance tissue health.
-
Nerve Impingement Addressing: Focuses on areas where nerves are compressed or irritated, often relieving associated pain or numbness.
-
Biomechanical Re-education: Guides clients on proper movement patterns to reduce strain on the body and prevent future injuries.
​
Benefits of Neuromuscular Therapy:
-
Reduces chronic pain and muscle tension.
-
Improves range of motion and flexibility.
-
Addresses conditions such as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and migraines.
-
Enhances recovery from sports injuries or surgeries.
-
Promotes overall physical and mental relaxation.
