The goal of neuromuscular therapy is to reduce pain, discomfort and stress in the body by using precise manual techniques that maintain relaxed and lengthened muscles. One of the factors that differs neuromuscular therapy from general deep tissue massage is most neuromuscular therapy sessions will focus treatment on the area of discomfort and may not include a full-body massage.
In the right hands, neuromuscular therapy is a highly effective treatment for chronic pain, muscular trauma resulting from an accident or injury, or strain caused by overuse.
