Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a very effective treatment method for relieving musculoskeletal pain and associated discomfort.

NMT addresses formed Trigger Points in your body. Trigger Points are hyperirritable spots in a taut band in muscles and connective tissues. Hightened levels of toxins, and chronic contraction of the muscle fibers, have been found in these spots.

There are several theories about why these Trigger Points form. Amongst some of the reasons are:

• Injury

• Overuse

• Poor posture

• Misaligned joints

• Compromised space for nerves at the nerve root

• Nutritional deficiencies.

When Trigger Points cause you pain, your body starts to minimize movements that hurt, and it starts to use new ways and new muscle groups to perform a specific movement. When this happens, your body uses muscles that are not designed to perform the action that you are asking it to do, and an imbalance in your musculature follows.

Most likely your frame has been, or will be, pulled out of alignment by the chronically contracted muscle fibers. When the imbalance causes pain, the first step is to manually release these Trigger Points.

Depending on the severity of the trauma, it may take one NMT session to relieve the pain, or it may take several sessions over an extended period of time.
