What is Neuromuscular Therapy?
Neuromuscular Therapy, also known as Trigger Point Myotherapy, is a form of manual therapy that focuses on relieving pain and dysfunction by targeting the body’s soft tissues. This technique involves applying pressure to specific points on the muscles, tendons, and connective tissues to alleviate pain and improve movement.
“NMT is a fantastic way to help alleviate postural issues and encourage the body to realign to a more functional pattern which can eases discomfort in areas like the lower and and upper back,” Betsy said.
NMT is based on scientific principles that understand the relationship between the nervous system and muscular system. It addresses five key elements that cause pain:
1. Ischemia: Lack of blood supply to soft tissues, causing hypersensitivity.
2. Trigger Points: Highly irritable points in muscles which refer pain to other parts of the body.
3. Nerve Compression/Entrapment: Pressure on nerves by muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones.
4. Postural Distortion: Imbalance in the musculoskeletal system due to poor posture.
5. Biomechanical Dysfunction: Improper movement patterns that result in muscular stress.
Benefits of Neuromuscular Therapy
1. Pain Relief
One of the most significant benefits of NMT is its ability to provide pain relief. By targeting and releasing trigger points, NMT can reduce or eliminate pain that originates from muscles and nerves. This is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
2. Improved Circulation
NMT enhances blood flow to the affected areas, promoting better circulation. This helps in delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues while removing metabolic waste products, which aids in faster recovery and healing.
3. Increased Mobility and Flexibility
Tight muscles and trigger points can limit your range of motion. NMT helps to relax and lengthen these muscles, thereby improving your flexibility and overall mobility. This is especially beneficial for athletes or anyone with an active lifestyle.
4. Reduced Stress and Tension
Chronic pain and muscle tension can lead to increased stress and anxiety. NMT works to release this tension, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. This contributes to overall mental and emotional well-being.
5. Enhanced Posture
Poor posture can cause various musculoskeletal issues. NMT helps to correct postural distortions by addressing muscle imbalances and strengthening weak areas. This not only improves your posture but also prevents future injuries.
6. Better Athletic Performance
Athletes can benefit significantly from NMT as it helps in maintaining muscle health, preventing injuries, and enhancing performance. Regular sessions can ensure that muscles are functioning optimally, which is crucial for peak athletic performance.
