FAQ
What is neuromuscular massage therapy?
Neuromuscular massage therapy is a specialised form of massage that applies firm, sustained, and controlled pressure over painful, taut bands of muscle, called myofascial trigger points, to release tension and facilitate blood flow.
What are the benefits of neuromuscular massage therapy?
Neuromuscular massage therapy can help reduce pain, discomfort and stress in the body by using precise manual techniques that maintain relaxed and lengthened muscles. It can also improve posture, range of motion, circulation, nerve function and tissue health.
What are the common conditions that neuromuscular massage therapy can treat?
Neuromuscular massage therapy can treat various musculoskeletal conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, shoulder dysfunction, fibromyalgia, TMJ dysfunction and more. It can also help with chronic pain syndromes, sports injuries, stress-related disorders and emotional issues.
What is the difference between a massage therapist and a neuromuscular therapist?
Both massage therapy and neuromuscular therapy can help with muscle recovery and pain relief, but they have different approaches and goals. Massage therapy is more general and aims to promote relaxation and well-being for the whole body. Neuromuscular therapy is more specific and targets trigger points and muscle imbalances that cause pain and discomfort in certain areas. Neuromuscular therapists have completed a 3 year degree in soft tissue therapy and have more medical knowledge of anatomy and physiology than massage therapists.
How many neuromuscular massage therapy sessions do I need?
The number of NMT sessions you need will vary depending on your condition and the severity of your pain. However, most people find that they need 6-12 sessions to see significant improvement.
