Neuromuscular Therapy
What is Neuromuscular Therapy?
 |
Neuromuscular Therapy (also known
as NMT) is a treatment which uses massage,
mobility, stretching and retraining to help eliminate or reduce
neuromuscular pain.
It is a scientific approach to pain
which addresses any imbalances between the nervous, muscular and
the skeletal systems. Neuromuscular Therapy is suitable for everyone
regardless of their age or fitness level. It will decrease pain
by reducing scar tissue and improving posture consequently decreasing
recovery time.
Neuromuscular Therapy can facilitate
the body to heal itself by implementing the holistic
|
approach; it concentrates on the physical,
nutritional and emotional aspects of the client. Dysfunction in any of these
areas can result in pain or discomfort. The Neuromuscular Therapist will
take into consideration the whole person not just focusing on the area of
pain. Sometimes a pain in the head can be the result of a trigger point
in the neck, or, a weak dysfunctional muscle could be causing pain in the
opposing muscle. Or the pain in the ankle could be the result of a slightly
rotated hip. The Neuromuscular Therapist applies various gentle techniques
which offer great relief to the client with lasting results.
Five reasons why people suffer from
pain
1) Lack of blood supply to the area.
2) Trigger points which are sensitive areas within very tight muscles,
which can refer pain to another location.
3) Nerve compression - excessive pressure on a nerve.
4) Poor posture due to working, sleeping or sporting conditions
5) Biomechanical Dysfunction. The body sometimes uses muscle in the incorrect
sequence. Often when an injury occurs the individual begins to hold their
body in a particular way, perhaps to ease their pain or to protect themselves
from further injury. However this can lead to more problems at a later
stage. This is called compensations, if left untreated, huge postural
distortions occur and a programme of retraining will be necessary.
How does Neuromuscular Therapy work?
Neuromuscular Therapy enhances the functioning
of the joints, muscles and mobility within the body, by using a variety
of techniques including Deep Tissue Massage, Soft Tissue Release, Muscle
Energy Technique, Trigger point Therapy and Positional Release Technique
recovery time is reduced substantially. It is widely used in sporting
circles on soft tissue injuries and is an excellent tool when used in
a preventive manner. Another area where Neuromuscular Therapy has demonstrated
huge success is postural distortions - poor posture due to working positions
etc.
Neuromuscular Therapy is also extremely
effective in post operative situations by helping restore the area to
full functionality again.
