Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)

The body is significantly affected by the powerful force of gravity. In state of misalignment, the valuable resources of the body are used inefficiently, so in this way, the body try tremendously to be maintained straightened up and aligned. And if we add to this the daily stress, the physical damages, the unhealthy movements, and the sad spirit, it can carry completely our structure out of alignment. Through the time, the body shortens and hardens itself to accommodate the stress, generating this way stiffness, pain and lack of comfort. A body that is aligned and balanced with the force of gravity moves freely and efficiently. Moving turns pleasant, breathing easier and it does not require any effort to maintain a good posture.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a very specialized form of manual 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.

By definition, Neuromuscular Therapy is the utilization of static pressure on specific myofascial points to relieve pain. Consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasms. This technique manipulates the soft tissue of the body (muscles, tendons and connective tissue) to balance the central nervous system. In a healthy individual, nerves transmit impulses (which are responsible for every movement, function and thought) to the body very slowly. Injury, trauma, postural distortion or stress cause nerves to speed up their transmission, inhibiting equilibrium and making the body vulnerable to pain and dysfunction. It is therefore necessary to stabilize low levels of neurological activity to maintain normal function and overall health.

Neuromuscular therapy is a science of using specific techniques and manipulations to relieve chronic pain, contractions, realign posture and relax strain on joints and osseous structures. A complete structural evaluation will be taken at the beginning of therapy with detailed noting of adjustments.


Neuromuscular Therapy will be used to address five elements that cause pain:

Ischemia: Lack of blood supply to soft tissues which causes hypersensitivity to touch.

Trigger Points: Highly irritated points in muscles which refer pain to other parts of the body.

Nerve Compression or Entrapment:Pressure on a nerve by soft tissue, cartilage or bone.

Postural Distortion: Imbalance of the muscular system resulting from the movement of the body off the longitudinal and horizontal planes.

Biomechanical Dysfunction: Imbalance of the musculoskeletal system resulting in faulty movement patterns (i.e., poor lifting habits, bad mechanics in a golf swing of tennis stroke, computer keyboarding).
