Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT)
Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) focuses on identifying and addressing areas of muscular pain and dysfunction through the application of targeted pressure and manipulation. It aims to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall movement by addressing trigger points, nerve compression, and postural imbalances. This approach involves a deep understanding of the body's neuromuscular system and aims to restore proper functioning through specific techniques and skilled assessment.
After the assessment, you can expect many different techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial therapy, cross fiber, transverse friction, reciprocal inhibition, and PNF stretches just to name a few which will aid in the patient's healing process, and back to moving pain-free again.
