Neuromuscular massage, also known as myofascial trigger point massage or myofascial release, is a specialized massage technique that employs targeted, sustained pressure on tense muscle bands, referred to as myofascial trigger points. The aim is to alleviate tension and enhance blood flow.
Neuromuscular massage therapy, a type of soft tissue massage, seeks to address chronic muscle and nervous system issues. Primarily used for treating trigger points, it addresses concerns such as circulation problems, nerve compression, postural issues, and injuries from repetitive movements.
For specific issues like chronic pain or muscle tension, more frequent neuromuscular massage sessions may be beneficial initially. This could involve weekly or bi-weekly appointments to target trigger points and alleviate discomfort.
Soft tissue injuries and acute trauma often result in prolonged pain due to slow healing processes. Neuromuscular massage offers a targeted approach to alleviate aches and pains by addressing muscular system issues, improving specific body areas, and enhancing overall health.
This therapy involves manipulating pained areas through stretching and self-care tactics, akin to physical therapy. Manual stimulation of the body reduces pain and enhances flexibility. Techniques may include pressure point application, particularly in the neck to alleviate neck pain, and teaching clients stretches and self-care practices for continued health improvement.
Neuromuscular treatments are effective for various soft tissue injuries caused by overexertion or repeated movements. Conditions commonly treated include carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, neck pain, headaches, tendonitis, sciatica, TMJ syndrome, circulatory problems, back pain, and shoulder pain. Those experiencing acute musculoskeletal pain are potential candidates for this treatment, determined through a consultation appointment.
Whether dealing with a recent injury or prolonged pain, this therapy contributes to comprehensive bodily health. For more insights into the benefits of neuromuscular massage tailored to your needs, consider scheduling a consultation.
Coupling our Red Light Bed or Vitality Booth with neuromuscular massage followed by a session in the Infrared Sauna creates an amazing health stack. By stacking these modalities with neuromuscular massage, you realize the anti-inflammatory and vasodilating (increased blood flow) properties of red light with the detoxifying effects of near, mid and far infrared. This creates not only a one-two punch but a one-two-three punch effect for your health.
Our family’s journey included years of struggling to find treatments and therapies for our children that would actually yield results.
We resisted the trap of traditional medicine, which only treats symptoms and not root causes. Instead, we explored restorative treatments like hyperbaric oxygen, infrared and compression therapies, as well as brain health programs like qEEG and Neurofeedback.
The results were astounding.
We realized early on how beneficial it would be if these various restorative treatments were housed in one facility.
