Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy is a scientific approach to muscular pain relief. Neuromuscular Therapy works to balance the musculoskeletal and nervous stems throughout the body to enhance the function of the joints, muscles and natural biomechanics of the body.

With any neuromuscular treatment your therapist monitors siz physiological factors that can create or intensify pain patterns:

• Ischemia: Lack of blood supply to a muscle which may cause hypersensitivity to touch.
• Trigger points: Aggravated points with in a muscle which may refer pain to other parts of the body.
• Nerve entrapment/Compression: Pressure on a nerve by soft tissue cartilage or bone.
• Postural distortions and imbalances: Imbalance of the muscular system caused bt the body by movement off the longitudinal and horizontal planes.
• Biomechanical dysfunction: Imbalance of the muscular system resulting in faulty movement patterns.
• Nutrition.

Neuromuscular therap then develops a treatment that is unique and specific to the individual needs of the client. This is done by the manipulation of soft-tissues of the body ie: muscles, connective tissues and tendons. This type of therapy helps to balance the musculoskeletal system of the body (skeleton and muscles) and also the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and  nerves) of the body aiding in pain relief. This will also give the body a chance to produce its own natural pain killers.

Neuromuscular therapy can be used to treat acute to chronic pain within the body which may have resulted from occupational/sports injuries and or automobile injuries. Specific conditions such as weak or torn muscles, whiplash, fozen shoulder, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotary cuff dysfunctions, migraine and back pain.
