Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is an assessment-based approach to muscular pain, movement restrictions and dysfunction within the neuromuscular system. It can be particularly helpful when pain keeps returning, or has not resolved with general massage.
Assessment comes first
Each treatment begins with understanding your symptoms, movement patterns, posture, lifestyle and goals. Through muscle testing, palpation and movement assessment, I identify areas of tension, weakness or imbalance that may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment can then target the factors influencing your discomfort, not just the place it hurts.
Trigger point therapy and more
Treatment may include trigger point therapy, soft tissue techniques, stretching and specific hands-on approaches to reduce muscle tension, improve muscle function and restore more comfortable movement. Trigger points are areas of increased sensitivity within a muscle that can cause local discomfort, referred pain and restricted movement. Identifying and treating them can reduce symptoms and improve how your body functions.
Who it can help
NMT may help with chronic or recurring pain, headaches, shoulder pain, mid and lower back pain, sports injuries, postural strain, muscle tightness and movement restrictions. It can also address muscle imbalances that develop through repetitive activity, physical demands or previous injury.
The goal is to understand the contributing factors behind your symptoms. Combining assessment, targeted treatment and a personalised approach, NMT aims to improve function, support long-term musculoskeletal health and help you move with greater comfort and confidence.
