Bodywork at its Best: Neuromuscular Massage

Neuromuscular massage therapy is practiced world-wide and has a foothold in both holistic and conventional medicine. Based on the concept that the central nervous system initiates pain, the goal of neuromuscular massage is to break the stress-tension-pain cycle and alleviate the underlying cause of dysfunctions in the soft tissues and other anatomical structures.

Practitioners of this myotherapy use myofascial trigger points to asses, treat, and prevent soft tissue injuries and chronic pain and therefore must be skilled in the knowledge of anatomy and precise palpatory application.
