💬 What’s the Difference Between a Regular Massage and Neuromuscular Therapy?
Think of a regular massage like a warm bath—it helps you relax, unwind, and feel good in the moment.
But a neuromuscular session? That’s more like detective work for your muscles.
We look for the why behind your pain—targeting trigger points, nerve pathways, and postural imbalances that keep showing up in your body.
This work builds on the discoveries of Dr. Janet Travell, who literally wrote the book on trigger points (and was President John F. Kennedy’s personal physician!). She believed that pain is often referred—meaning the true source of discomfort may be in a different spot than where you feel it. Her research helped us map those patterns and develop more effective ways to treat them.
So if you’re dealing with:
That same tight spot that always comes back
Numbness or tingling in your hands or feet
Neck, shoulder, or jaw tension that just won’t budge
…it might be time to go deeper than surface-level relief.
Neuromuscular therapy is slow, intentional, and deeply personalized. It’s not just about “fixing” something—it’s about helping your body remember how to move and feel better.
If you’re curious or unsure if this work is right for you, I’d love to talk.
