What Is Neuromuscular Massage Therapy?
Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is a targeted massage technique that focuses on the manipulation of soft tissues, specifically muscles and fascia, to alleviate pain and dysfunction. Using a combination of deep pressure, trigger point therapy, and stretching, NMT works by addressing the root causes of muscle tightness, poor posture, and nerve compression. Unlike traditional massages, NMT pinpoints areas of chronic tension and uses precise techniques to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow, ultimately improving muscle function and mobility.
How It Works:
During a session, our trained massage therapist will identify areas of muscle tightness or trigger points—specific spots where muscle fibers become contracted or knotted. These trigger points can cause pain to radiate through other parts of the body, creating discomfort and limiting movement. Using deep pressure, sustained compression, and stretching techniques, the therapist works to release these knots, increase circulation, and help muscles return to their optimal state. When combined with chiropractic care, NMT can help accelerate recovery and reduce the need for pain medication.
Improvements from Treatment:
- Pain Relief: Targeted pressure on muscles helps reduce pain, especially in areas affected by muscle spasms, tension, or injury.
- Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion: By loosening tight muscles and releasing trigger points, NMT helps restore mobility, making it easier to move and perform daily activities.
- Stress Reduction: NMT is also highly effective in reducing stress and promoting relaxation by stimulating the body's parasympathetic nervous system, which helps decrease cortisol levels and tension.
- Injury Recovery: Neuromuscular Massage Therapy helps speed up recovery from soft tissue injuries, such as strains or sprains, by improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
