Neuromuscular therapy is a focused form of soft-tissue treatment that considers the relationship between muscles, movement patterns and the nervous system. It is often used when discomfort is persistent, recurring or linked to areas of muscular tension.
What can neuromuscular therapy address?
It may also support people experiencing sciatica-like symptoms, jaw tension, tendon irritation or nerve-related discomfort. Suitability depends on assessment, and referral to another healthcare professional may be recommended.
Techniques used
Trigger-point therapy
Focused, controlled pressure may be used around sensitive points in a muscle to help reduce local tension and improve comfortable movement.
Myofascial and soft-tissue release
Slow, specific techniques address restricted soft tissue and the connective tissue surrounding muscles.
Neuromuscular re-education
Movement guidance and simple exercises may be used to improve coordination, posture and how muscle groups work together.
