Experience Deep Relief with Neuromuscular Therapy



Neuromuscular Therapy technique is used to restore balance to the nervous system and musculoskeletal systems. Injury, trauma, postural distortion or stress can influence nerve transmission and therefore overall function of the body. Based on symptoms and evaluation, our therapists may employ this technique to address what are called Trigger Points, or very specific areas of irritation, to restore balance and proper neurological function to the body.

The Benefits of Neuromuscular Massage Therapy for Back Pain

Back pain is the single leading cause of disability in the world. Everyone eventually feels some type of back pain or weakness, whether it is from over-exertion, stress, injury or any other issues. Combined, Americans miss about 264 million workdays per year due to intense back pain. Back pain can be caused by many factors including, muscle injury, bad posture, obesity, prolonged sitting or lying, over-stretching, exercise, and more. Depending on your age, health and the cause of pain, your doctor will prescribe medications or recommend specific treatments like exercises, stretches, surgeries, physical therapy and neuromuscular massage therapy.

Many people use massage therapy as a way to treat their back pain. Massage therapy involves many different treatments and techniques like sports massage, deep tissue, Swedish massage and more. A type of massage therapy that many people do not know about is neuromuscular massage. While the name may seem intimidating, its results are helpful for many individuals. 

What is Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger Point Therapy is a form of massage therapy that involves applying pressure to specific, sensitive ‘trigger points’ in your muscles. These ‘trigger points’ are often tight bands of muscle that lead to chronic pain. You might hear them called ‘knots’ as well. There are numerous theories about what causes the issue, but nothing has been proven 100%. Science continues to change! They are also associated with referred pain and twitch responses in the muscle. These points are often the source of pain and can refer to discomfort in other areas of the body. By precisely targeting and treating these points, Trigger Point Therapy can:

• Relieve pain and soreness
• Increase range of motion
• Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
• Improve muscle flexibility
• Make you more comfortable

What does neuromuscular massage treat?

Neuromuscular massage therapy treats a wide range of problems. Most people recognize neuromuscular massage therapy for its ability to relieve back pain or any other muscle pain, but there are more disorders and symptoms it treats, including:

• Carpal tunnel symptoms
• Sciatica symptoms
• Calf cramps
• Hip, knee and jaw pain
• Headaches
• Temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ disorders)
• Iliotibial band friction syndrome
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tendonitis

Scientists, doctors and massage therapists continue to study and test neuromuscular massage therapy to determine if this massage therapy can treat other ailments and pain areas. Since neuromuscular therapy focuses on trigger points, it can also treat strained muscles and other tense areas. Before settling on neuromuscular massage therapy, if you have any of the disorders or issues above, consult your doctor to make sure it is the right treatment for you.
