Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy is a physical hands on therapy which provides treatment of both soft tissue pain & injury. It can assist and alleviate with the treatment of acute or chronic discomfort of both muscular and myofacial pain. The treatment is administered through direct manipulation of the soft tissues as well as focusing on deactivating Trigger Points. Trigger Points are tender points in soft tissues which will result in a pain referral pattern. In other words – a pain in the face and the neck, may actually be caused by Trigger Points in the muscles of the neck. Trigger Points are a result of numerous factors including: Stress, Anxiety, Over use, Misuse, Trauma & Poor Posture – to name but a few. Neuromuscular Therapy encourages & assists the body to return to its natural state of Homeostasis, as well as improving the functions of both the muscles & the Joints.
