NeuroMuscular Therapy's approach to massage is very detailed massage of muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, etc. Precise massage therapy releases problem areas that are missed by general massage.

NeuroMuscular massage techniques often use the thumbs or fingertips to explore tissues in detail. Elbows or forearms are also used, when necessary. Tense muscles often form bands of muscle fibers even tighter than the rest. These are areas of hypertonicity and ischemia. Searching thoroughly, I can feel bands of tight muscle fibers; the areas that are in the most trouble. These are found and treated until they release.

NeuroMuscular Therapy has grown to include treatment of the craniosacral system, joints, connective tissues.. Problems in any body system can create high-intensity nerve impulses that stimulate muscles to contract, leading to pain. Massage of Trapezius- For example is an area of multiple muscle intersections and collects stress- just from our standing upright or driving, typing, sleeping..
Principles of NeuroMuscular Therapy

   * Adhesions · Body structures can become "glued" together.
   * Facilitation · What the nervous system has done many times before tends to happen more easily.
   * Hypertonicity · Excess tension in muscles.
   * Ischemia · Restriction of blood flow.
   * Joint Fixation · Tight joints create tension in muscles.
   * Nerve Compression · Bones or cartilage can press on nerves.
   * Nerve Entrapment · Tight muscles can entrap nerves.
   * Pain Threshold · Muscle tension causes pain when it crosses the pan threshold.
   * Postural Distortion · Misalignment in gravity leads to muscle tension.
   * Referred Pain · Pain can occur at a distance from where the problem is.
   * Trigger Points · Points of high electrical activity send pain to other areas.
