Neuromuscular Therapy
NMT is highly effective for those who have chronic pain. Some of the techniques can also be applied to acute injuries and for post-surgical care.
NMT assessments and examinations primarily address:
- ischemia (tight tissue with reduced blood flow)
- myofascial trigger points (hypersensitive points within muscles)
- neural entrapment (pressure on nerves by muscles/ other soft tissues)
- nerve compression (pressure on nerves by osseous and other bone like tissues, such as cartilage or discs).
- postural assessment (assessment of the position of the body)
- dysfunctional gait patterns (manner of movement when walking)
As well as many other perpetuating factors, such as hydration, nutrition, breathing patterns, and psychologic stress.
