Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is a complete “system” for treating and relieving muscular aches and pains.
- It begins with a detailed posture assessment to see what muscles are pulling you out of alignment, and what muscles need to be released to bring you back into more alignment and balance.
- Neuromuscular gives you a lot more lasting relief from aches and pains by treating your muscles and soft-tissues much more detailed and laser focused, by treating the complete muscle belly, the attachments, tendons, and also the “trigger points” which are scientifically proven to be at the root cause of 80+% of muscular pain.
- So neuromuscular treats and balances your posture and your pain, all in 1 treatment!
Most people who like deep tissue, LOVE neuromuscular massage because it’s exactly what they’ve been looking for. They’ve been wanting someone to target and angle right into their knots, and typically find that neuromuscular massage does this best.
Deep tissue massage is often more about pressure and general aches and pains, which is highly effective as well. It’s less about laser-focusing in on specific trigger points causing your pain.
Swedish massage is your typically classic relaxation massage, with lighter pressure and strokes.
