Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
Therapeutic Bodywork
Neuromuscular Therapy and Structural Bodywork is a goal-oriented form of bodywork which addresses specific pain problems, trigger points and postural distortions. These usually occur as a result of various reasons, such as repetitive overuse, direct trauma or general poor posture. Within a treatment session, an experienced practitioner will assess and identify the source of the client’s pain, as well as educate them about their pain.
"Muscle is an orphan organ. No medical specialty claims it. As a consequence, no medical specialty is concerned with promoting funded research into the muscular causes of pain, and medical students & physical therapists rarely receive adequate primary training in how to recognize and treat myofascial trigger points."
— David G. Simons, MD pioneer in myofascial pain and trigger points, & aerospace physician
