Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specialized form of massage therapy. A NMT therapist is educated in the physiology of the nervous system and its effect on the muscular and skeletal systems. The NMT bodyworker also is educated in kinesiology and biomechanics.
Neuromuscular Therapy is the utilization of static pressure on specific myofascial points to relieve pain. This technique manipulates the soft tissue of the body (muscles, tendons and connective tissue) to balance the central nervous system. In a healthy individual, nerves transmit impulses (which are responsible for every movement,
function and thought) to the body very slowly. Injury, trauma, postural distortion or stress cause nerves to speed up their transmission, inhibiting equilibrium and making the body vulnerable to pain and dysfunction.
It is therefore necessary to stabilize low levels of neurological activity
to maintain normal function and overall health.
