Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a very specialized form of manual therapy. Neuromuscular Therapy is the utilization of static pressure or rotational 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.
