Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a focused, corrective style of massage that looks at how your posture, movement, and muscle patterns work together. By finding the areas that are overworked, tight, or restricted—and treating the soft tissue connected to those patterns—NMT helps relieve pain at its source.
It’s especially effective for chronic pain, nerve compression, and long-term tension that hasn’t responded well to general massage.
A trigger point is basically a tiny “hot spot” in the muscle, what some refer to as a "knot", but is a micro-spasm. They can become sensitive and can send pain to other areas of the body. This is why sometimes pain isn’t actually where the problem starts.
This referred pain pattern is why symptoms like headaches, neck discomfort, or jaw pain may originate from trigger points in other muscles.
Myofascial massage focuses on the body’s fascia (a web-like connective tissue that wraps around everything inside you). When that tissue gets tight, it can pull, restrict, and cause pain far from the original area. Myofascial Massage works with the body, allowing the fascia to change at the speed the nervous system feels safe. This slower, more mindful pace can help release long-held tension, unwind old patterns, and create lasting change instead of temporary relief. It is commonly used for chronic pain, postural imbalance, surgical scarring, nerve compression, and movement restrictions that do not respond to standard massage alone.
