WHAT IS NEUROMUSCULAR THERAPY?

NMT is a thorough program of recovery from acute and chronic pain syndromes which utilizes specific massage therapy, flexibility stretching, and home care to eliminate the causes of most neuromuscular pain patterns. This specific and scientific approach to muscular pain relief will help to bring about balance between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. NMT enhances the function of joints, muscles and biomechanics (movement) and it releases endorphins, the body's own natural pain killers. It can be part of a comprehensive program, complementing all other health care modalities.

Neuromuscular Therapy examines six physiological factors
that may create or intensify pain patterns.

These six factors are:

1.	Ischemia
2.	Trigger Points
3.	Nerve Entrapment/Compression
4.	Postural Distortions
5.	Nutrition
6.	Emotional Wellbeing

Our seminars focus on anatomy, physiology, functions and dysfunctions of muscles and joints. Protocols for treatment of common pain syndromes combined with thorough anatomy knowledge are the basis for success with NMT. A well planned curriculum with adequate integration time is the success of this training. Basic anatomy knowledge is suggested prior to the class.
