Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a type of bodywork that focuses on muscles, ligaments, and tendons which are known as the “soft tissues of the body”. NMT has been around for over 100 years and has science-based foundational guidelines backed by clinical studies. NMT is becoming much more popular, and doctors are recommending this type of massage even more than chiropractic care.
Neuromuscular therapy is the application of varying levels of focused pressure on muscles in spasms and surrounding areas. The massage therapy pressure is usually applied with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Once applied to a muscle spasm, the pressure of the muscle can relax and the pain may be alleviated.
