Neuromuscular massage therapy is not just another spa treatment - it's often the missing piece for those suffering, often for years, the debilitating and exhausting effects of chronic pain and impaired muscular function. Whether caused by overexertion, overuse, or a recent injury this therapy will provide the treatment you need to resume your daily life.
The Science Behind Neuromuscular Massage Therapy
Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is not acupressure nor does it have anything to do with pressure points. It is a highly specialized manual therapy used to treat neuromuscular-skeletal pain and dysfunction. In simplistic terms, when a muscle fiber is overloaded, it can get stuck in a state of constant contraction, causing individual muscle fibers to bunch together resulting in a tender nodule called a “trigger point”. The constant contraction of muscle fibers produces cellular waste, impeding local circulation and lymphatic drainage, causing irritation to sensory nerves that cause pain or sensations in distant areas of the body.
Common Causes of Muscle Overload Include:
● Performing repetitive tasks
● Heavy lifting
● Traumatic injury
● Incorrect posture including during sleep
How it Works
Neuromuscular Massage Therapy combines Myofascial Release and Trigger Point therapy techniques to address this type of pain and neuromuscular dysfunction. Myofascial Release is used to manipulate fascia, a continuous band of connective tissue surrounding all muscles, organs, blood vessels and nerves. It is used to release restrictions adversely affecting surrounding structures. Trigger Point therapy utilizes sustained pressure and stripping techniques to disperse muscle fiber contractions, eliminating the trigger point and allowing for normal blood flow and lymph drainage in the area to resume.
During a treatment session it is necessary to activate a trigger point, reproducing the pain pattern before it can be eliminated. Although not necessarily relaxing, treatment can be adjusted for anyone’s tolerance and the results are always welcome. Clients usually feel a reduction in the intensity and duration of their symptoms almost immediately. Depending on how long trigger points have been present, several sessions may be in order to rid the muscle of them completely.
