What is Neuromuscular Therapy?
Neuromuscular therapy is an in-depth form of massage therapy, which uses specialist soft tissue manipulation techniques to balance your central nervous system with your musculoskeletal system. This restores optimal balance to the body, enabling you to enjoy general muscular and whole body health.It is a holistic treatment, which is expertly applied after careful review of your whole body in relation to the specific complaint that you have. Full consideration is given to your postural analysis and your particular pattern of muscular imbalance from feet to skull. The treatment itself then follows a proven system of rehabilitation.
The skills of a neuromuscular therapist vary from those of a sports masseur in that work is focused on normalising the functioning of your body’s nervous system to bring about optimal balance of your body as a whole, rather than improving a specific area. This is done by:
- Correcting postural distortion
- Identifying and eliminating biomechanical dysfunctions
- Treating trigger points
- Removing points of nerve compression or entrapment
- Treating Ischemic muscle tissue, which suffers poor blood supply and oversensitivity
You’ll find that neuromuscular therapy is most effective when integrated with other aspects of the Evolution Cycle of Health. So you’re likely to achieve far greater results and longer-lasting benefits if you combine neuromuscular therapy treatments with an exercise and/or a nutrition & lifestyle coaching programme designed by a Core Evolution personal trainer.
