Neuromuscular, also known as Trigger Point, is a great choice for pain and injuries. It works with the nervous system and the muscles by helping establish a more functional relationship between the two. The therapist uses firm, static, perpendicular, pressure to target specific points on the body. These points, called trigger points, are tender muscle points that, when addressed, will help reduce muscle spasms and bring about circulation to painful areas. The NMT points are unrelated to acupuncture points, but the technique is similar in the way that a specific region is targeted with pressure. NMT is a medically-oriented form of massage that works with circulation, nerve compression, postural issues, and biomechanical problems.
