Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) massage is a specialized form of deep tissue massage that focuses on treating pain and dysfunction in the body’s muscles and nervous system. It aims to relieve chronic pain, improve posture, and restore proper movement by releasing tight muscles and correcting imbalances.
Here are some key points about Neuromuscular Therapy:
Targeted Treatment: It works on specific muscles that might be causing pain, tension, or injury. By applying pressure to trigger points (areas of muscle tightness), it helps release knots and reduce pain.
Corrects Imbalances: NMT can help correct muscle imbalances that may lead to poor posture or movement issues. It focuses on the underlying causes of pain, not just the symptoms.
Improves Circulation: The massage increases blood flow to the affected areas, helping the body heal faster and reducing muscle tension.
Nervous System Connection: NMT also involves understanding how nerves and muscles work together, helping to address issues like pinched nerves or nerve-related pain.
It’s commonly used for conditions like back pain, headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries.
