NeuroMuscular Therapy
This tool for Optimum Physical Performance was developed for the primary purpose of treating people with injuries and pain.
The same principles have also been found to be extremely effective in injury prevention / maintenance as well as performance enhancement for athlete’s training even in the absence of injury or pain.
The essence of NMT is the detailed manipulation of the soft tissues of the body with ever changing amounts of pressure based on the pain threshold. It’s like having your orthopedist using their hands instead of scan equipment to feel the constricted tissues. The treatment is designed to relax muscle tension, release fascia (connective tissue) restrictions, increase blood flow, relieve direct pressure on nerves caused by soft tissues, indirectly relieve pressure on nerves caused by harder tissues, and eliminate pains referred from trigger points.
A key reason for the high success rate of properly applied NMT is that the treatment plan is based on a very thorough evaluation to know which tissues to pay more attention to. The therapist will look at the area of complaint, posture analysis, movement pattern analysis, and charting of trigger points, and nerve pathways. This approach customizes the treatment plan considering multiple potential sources of pain for each individual, leaving little up to chance.
The person is treated in the office and then maintains these results by way of various home care suggestions. The greatest long term results are from follow up with precise posture re-education and a corrective exercise program which tells them exactly which muscles to stretch and which to strengthen to create stability first, and then functional abilities needed for their particular lifestyle and individual daily neeThis tool for Optimum Physical Performance was developed for the primary purpose of treating people with injuries and pain.
