Neuromuscular treatment (NMT) addresses specific muscles or muscle groups needing corrective alignment. Sometimes referred to as deep tissue massage or medical massage, NMT is specific to muscle attachment, form, function, insertion and attachment. Drs. Janet Travell and David Simon founded this modality during the 1960s.
Chronic pain or trauma disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, or pelvic asymmetry, may be relieved. Repetitive strain injuries, motor vehicle accidents or physical injury may cause chronic pain which may be relieved with this technique. Draping for modesty is provided and minimal oils or lotion are applied.
