Neuromuscular therapy utilizes soft tissue techniques to enhance and restore range of motion, muscle balance, eliminate pain, improve circulation, improve posture, strength, physical and psychological fitness. Neuromuscular therapy addresses 6 major points:
Ischemia (lack of blood supply to the soft tissue)
Trigger points (highly irritable tender spots in the skeletal muscle that refer pain to other parts of the body and can mimic any pain. Postural distortion poor posture can unbalance the skeletal muscle system resulting in pain, aches and development of trigger points
Nerve entrapment or compression
Nutrition …how our diet affects our well being
Emotional well being everyday stresses can cause muscular tension leading to referred pain and soreness. For example trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle (shoulder area) can cause headaches
