What Is Neuromuscular Therapy?
Neuromuscular therapy is a focused form of massage therapy used to address chronic pain, muscle tension, trigger points and movement restrictions. Rather than simply working where it hurts, treatment looks at muscular patterns and other areas that may be contributing to the problem.
At Tricia Taylor, LMT in Lewisburg, TN, neuromuscular therapy may be incorporated into a customized medical massage session based on your symptoms, movement and individual needs.
What Can Neuromuscular Therapy Help With?
Neuromuscular therapy may be helpful for people experiencing:
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Upper and lower back pain
• Sciatic-type discomfort
• Headaches associated with muscular tension
• Trigger points and persistent muscle tightness
• Restricted range of motion
• Muscle imbalances and repetitive-use tension
• Injury recovery and recurring pain patterns
Each Session Is Customized to the Individual
Pain is not always caused by the area where you feel it. Tight or overworked muscles, trigger points and compensation patterns can contribute to discomfort elsewhere in the body.
Your session begins with a conversation about what you are experiencing and may include assessment of movement, posture, muscular tension and areas of restriction. Each session is then customized to what is found rather than following a predetermined massage routine.
Neuromuscular therapy may be combined with other techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, cupping or IASTM when appropriate.
Is Neuromuscular Therapy Right for You?
If you are dealing with pain or muscle tension that keeps returning, limited mobility, or a problem that hasn’t responded well to a standard relaxation massage, a more targeted approach may be appropriate.
Tricia Taylor, LMT has been practicing massage therapy since 1999 and provides customized medical and therapeutic massage in Lewisburg, Tennessee.
