Neuromuscular Technique

Neuromuscular Technique
Neuromuscular Technique is incorporated into Holistic Massage when someone is suffering from severe muscle tension to treat and prevent soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. Muscles are kneaded until the surface tension which often feels ‘crunchy’ or ‘creeky’ when massaged has been dispersed, and with increasing pressure the muscle is penetrated deeper to seek out and reduce even the oldest of injury or posture related tension.
The result is dramatic pain relief- sometimes even immediately after years of pain and inability to use the muscles correctly. Throughout the treatment I will ask for your guidance in locating the ‘head’, or ‘trigger’, for the knots within your muscles, usually these are identified by a hard lump that feels sharp pain when pressed. Pressure is applied to the trigger for up to a minute using fingers, knuckles, wrists or elbow if required and then released and kneaded to disperse the toxins and drained toward the lymph nodes and then repeated if necessary.
Many people suffer with pain and tension, often without realising the cause, knots in the muscle are the result of muscle fibres being jarred and forced to overlap and ‘knot’, this can cause the surrounding muscle and bone to sit awkwardly causing a whole array of further structural damage. Neuromuscular Technique allows instant relief and often, with several treatments, permanent freedom from persistent aches and pains.
Neuromuscular therapy is used to treat conditions such as
SciaticaChronic painCarpal tunnel syndromeTennis elbowRotator cuff dysfunctionLower back pain.Chronic pain resulting from occupational, sports and/or automobile injuriesMigraines.Thoracic outlet syndromeMuscle and jaw tightnessKnee, foot and ankle discomfortFrozen shoulderThe Science
Neuromuscular Technique is a revolutionary neuromanual assessment and treatment system which instantly relieves pain, strengthens muscles, and increases range of motion. It is thought to have the ability of “tricking” the brain into resetting the communication with the area of tension, allowing the folded muscle fibres to relax and straighten out. Others have concluded that it is the application of firm pressure and then the sudden release which shocks the system into dispersing the blocked toxins.
