Neuromuscular Therapy | Alpharetta, Georgia
Neuromuscular therapy aka (NMT) is an approach to soft tissue manual therapy in which a practitioner applies quasi-static pressure to soft tissue in order to stimulate skeletal striated muscle. Often these areas of muscle are myofascial trigger points. Neuromuscular Therapist/practitioners balance the central nervous system (brain, spinal column and nerves) with the structure and form of the musculoskeletal system.
Through applied knowledge of trigger points, neuromuscular therapy addresses postural distortion (poor posture), biomechanical dysfunction, nerve compression syndrome, and ischemia. In Neuromuscular Therapy, one must apply manual pressure perpendicular to the skin surface if muscle is to be stimulated.
