How is Massage Revolution's Signature
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) unique?
Our neuromuscular
therapy signature bodywork treatments pinpoint your stiff muscles and exact
location of your pain, stiffness, numbness, or weakness. Neuromuscular Therapy
(NMT) specifically locates and releases your tight muscles and trigger points
getting to the CAUSE or source of your pain. According to Dr. Janet Travell,
generally recognized as the leading pioneer in diagnosis and treatment of
muscle pain, trigger points are a component up to 93 percent of the muscle
pains seen in pain clinics, and the SOLE cause of such pain as much as 85
percent of the time.
Your muscles make up a HUGE part of your body.
When your body has physical trauma, strains, or emotional stress, your muscles
are strongly affected. Yet, until recently the muscles and trigger points have
been largely overlooked as a major cause for your pain. Now, studies show your
muscles, particularly trigger points, play a big role in terms of health and
dysfunction to the overall economy of your body and its ability to function
well.
What causes YOUR pain?
Massage Revolution's Signature Bodywork Treatments identify 5 sources
of your pain:
1. Ischemia is a lack of blood supply to your
muscles causing them to become very sensitive to the touch. Go ahead and make a
fist for 10 seconds and open it. See how "pale" your skin looks from no blood
flow?
When your muscles are tight or in spasm throughout the day,
blood and oxygen are not optimally nourishing your cells and eliminating waste
products. Also, good circulation in your muscles is a key component to fighting
disease and superb health.
2. Trigger Points are
small "knots" in your muscles that when compressed create referred pain locally
or to other areas of your body. For example, do you ever feel like your neck
muscles create a pounding headache behind your eye, base of your skull, or
anywhere in your head? Or do your shoulder muscles when tight from sitting in
front of a computer produce numbness or pain down your arms, even into your
hands?
Often, the source of your pain stems from other areas and is
simply a trigger point waiting to be released. No amount of Advil or stretching
fully releases your trigger points. Only releasing them by hand does.
|
3. Nerve compression or entrapment is pressure on a
nerve by muscles or bone. Who do you know who has complained of Sciatica?
Because so many of us sit all day, this "pain in the butt" is commonly caused
by your hip muscle called the piriformis pushing on your sciatic nerve creating
pain deep in your hip and even down your leg.
Or, so many people today
are wrongly diagnosed with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome when the CAUSE of their arm
and hand pain comes from their neck. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a
perfect example.
Because of poor posture and slumping at the computer
for 8 hours a day, our neck and shoulder muscles begin tightening around the
nerves and arteries. Well, guess what? These nerves and arteries just happen to
run down our arms...
So when they're squeezed and compressed in your
neck and shoulder you feel pain all the way into your arm and hand. This is so
common among computer workers that one could say that Bill Gates has been a
huge supporter of the medical industry.
4. Postural distortion is a muscle imbalance (too
weak or tight) which pulls your body out of alignment. Computer-shoulder and
forward-head posture are perfect examples.
Stand in front of a mirror
and check out your alignment. Is one of your shoulders or hips higher or lower
than the other? Does your pelvis feel tilted or rotated more than it should be?
Do you stand favoring one side? Look down at your feet. Do they turn outward or
inward? These are all postural distortions that when corrected and eliminated
restore proper posture and get rid of pain.
5. Biomechanical dysfunction is an imbalance of
your muscles and bones resulting in improper movement patterns. Spend a few
minutes watching people walk and you notice how common it is to swing one arm
more, favor one side, or be stuck in improper movement patterns. This constant
straining of certain muscles frequently leads to many aches and pains and is
re-educated with our neuromuscular signature
treatments.

What is Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)?
In the 1930's Dr.
Stanley Lief, a trained Chiropractor and Naturopathic Physician along with his
cousin Boris Chaitow also trained in chiropractic and naturopathy experimented
with neuromuscular treatments for muscular pain at Leif's world-famous health
resort in Hertfordshire, England.
The treatment was so successful that
their neuromuscular technique became common practice in osteopathic and sports
therapy venues all over Europe.
Over the next several decades, two
American Doctors, Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. David Simons, published a two
volume set of textbooks titled "The Trigger Point Manual on Upper Body and
Lower Body Pain" that identified with documentation, research, and references
that the Source of most pain is "knots" in your muscles.
A whole new
field of study for chronic pain was introduced to the medical, dental, massage,
and therapeutic communities called-Neuromuscular Therapy.
Dr. Janet
Travell went on to become the first woman White House Physician and the
personal physician to President John F. Kennedy.
President Kennedy
credits her Trigger Point Neuromuscular Therapy as the only effective treatment
for his debilitating back pain that was so crippling he considered stepping
down as President.
The Only Safe, Effective, and Proven Treatment for Muscle
Tension & Pain
Dr. Travell identified
very sensitive areas found in your muscles as the root CAUSE of pain 93% of the
time.
She called these sensitive areas "trigger points" and by
releasing these "trigger points" the stress on the muscles is released and the
pain is eliminated.
What causes these "trigger points"?
 |
Stress, anxiety, and constant worry |
 |
Nervous tension, trauma, poor posture |
 |
Strenuous activity, Car accidents, Pregnancy |
 |
Sudden
falls, sports injuries, running, sleeping on your stomach or side, aerobics,
leaning weight on only one leg for a long period of time...and more |
In many cases chronic
pain is 80% relieved within a few weeks of regular neuromuscular
treatments.

"I was
side-lined in 2006 with a torn meniscus in my left knee and a
rotator cuff repair in my left shoulder. After extensive rehab
and strength training I started competing again but I wasn't feeling good out
on the court. I was suffering from back pain due to a phenomenon
known as compensation. I was getting stronger on my surgery side, but weaker on
my healthy side. After two 'signature body work treatments' I felt
complete relief from pain and was able to focus on the volleyball court
without thinking about my body." Adam Jewell AVP Pro-Beach

my neck is back!
Thanks for keeping me on top of my game!!"
