Neurmuscular Therapy

Neuromscular Therapy (NMT) assist with:

• Increasing Joint Range of Motion
• Decreasing stiffness and aching of muscles
• Sports/event preparation
• Repetitive and overuse dysfunciton
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Lower back and hip tension
• Leg and arm tension

​
This is a very specific application of soft tissue manipulation which essentially concentrates on releasing tension from the muscle belly and its attachments.  This treatment is excellent for people who use their bodies vigorously at work or during recreation.  An NMT treatment often  yields trigger points which have become quite well known as harbouring referred pain. NMT is essentially satisfying as it provides a fairly intense approach with great results.
NMT should be applied deep and moderately slow to allow you and the tissues time to adapt to the pressure. I often utilize NMT during a pain relieving session in conjunction with VM.  As a result the tissues soften significantly.
