Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a very specialized form of massage therapy. A therapist trained in NMT is educated in the physiology of the nervous system and its effect on the muscular and skeletal systems. The Neuromuscular Therapist also is educated in kinesiology and biomechanics and how to work in a clinical or medical environment.
What Is Neuromuscular Therapy?
Neuromuscular therapy is a system of soft tissue massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. Neuromuscular therapy aims to balance the central nervous system with the musculoskeletal system correct any disorders brought about as a result of any imbalances between the two. Neuromuscular therapy enhances the function of joints and muscles, and speeds healing by facilitating the release endorphins.
Neuromuscular therapy works by addressing the following six physiological factors which can intensify pain patterns. They are:
- Trigger points - trigger points are highly irritable points in the nervous system.
- Nerve entrapment/compression - when a nerve gets pressed constantly between the surrounding structures, it can lead to an acute kind of chronic pain.
- Postural distortions - Postural distortions result in underdevelopment of the supporting muscles and thereby lead to their weakening.
- Nutrition - Lack of adequate nutrition to the cells leads to an over all weakening of the entire system.
- Ischemia - In a condition such as Ischemia, the cells and tissues get a reduced blood supply and as a result are under-nourished.
- Stress - Stress plays havoc with the functioning of the nervous and musculoskeletal system.
