Neuromuscular Therapy*
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a focused, clinical approach to massage that targets the root cause of chronic pain. We use precise, targeted pressure to treat trigger points and muscle adhesions. Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots within a muscle that can cause pain, tightness, and limited range of motion.
During an NMT session, the therapist and client work together as a team. I'll ask you to provide feedback on the intensity of the pain, aiming for a manageable level (usually a 4-5 out of 10). This pressure is held until the sensation subsides, which signals the muscle to release and relax.
NMT treatments are typically not full-body. Instead, we concentrate on the specific areas contributing to your pain. This focused work can lead to significant and lasting relief from pain patterns, often in just a few sessions. This therapy is highly effective for issues like back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and hip pain as well as any other area of the body.
