Neuromuscular Therapy?
What are the Key Benefits?
Neuromuscular Therapy is a modality of massage that works directly with the nervous system by incorporating the action of the muscle being worked on by the client. Techniques include: deep tissue, trigger point, fascial freeing, compression, joint play, and assisted stretching.
By asking the client to contract and participate with the working muscle, rather than lying passively, new neuropathways are made between the nervous system and muscle to create lasting affects on the condition of the muscle. It helps to increase overall coordination. Neuromuscular technique can be applied actively or passively depending on the condition of the muscles and level of pain present.

We all have postural and muscular imbalances due to the work or activities we do on a daily basis. No matter how limber, fit, or healthy you are, I guarantee Neuromuscular Therapy can benefit you, especially you. It is also very beneficial to those post-injury (at any stage) or post-surgery to help the tissues to re-align to their normal arrangement for a faster recovery.
Where do I start?
Your first session includes a 30 minute assessment where we will look at your posture, range of motion, walk, as well as any muscle conditions to begin to 'unlock' clues your body's current state.
