What is neuromuscular massage therapy?
neuromuscular massage therapy, or NMT, is a specialized form of manual therapy or massage, which uses mostly static pressure to relieve pain. This form of therapy often focuses on hyper-staining spots in a close muscle or its fascia, a strong connective tissue surrounding muscles called trigger points. These gentle sites can cause pain by shortening muscle or cause pain, which is pain in a place other than at the point of the trigger point. Ischemia is a reduced blood supply, often found in areas of tightened muscles. Nervous capture or compression is another condition that causes pain and is caused by pressure on the muscles of tightness. NMT can also help relieve pain and tightness due to things such as postural or biomechanical problems in which imbalance in posture or the way we move cause pain.
neuromuscular massage therapy can increase the peripheral area, breaking tightness and adhesion, which is when muscle fibers combine together andThey reduce pain. It can also increase the mood by increasing the production of certain chemicals, namely endorphins and serotonin and increase immunity by allowing immune cells to function more efficiently using the detoxification process. NMT can also increase the procedure by increasing muscle flexibility and the right muscles, increasing things such as stamina and coordination.
Some common NMT techniques are alternating or prolonged ischemic compression. Alternating ischemic compression exerts direct pressure on the trigger or sheaved space, causing pain for eight to ten seconds before it is released for a moment. This causes a rush of blood into the area. The pressure is then re -applied and released until the pain is reduced.
prolonged ischemic compression is slow, constant pressure on a specific area until the release is felt. Edition is a softening or melting of the tightened area. Once the release is felt, mThe anterior therapist increases direct pressure. Each release can take anywhere from a few seconds to one minute. This process is repeated until the pain is reduced.
Other techniques of neuromuscular massage therapy include things such as rolling the skin, where the muscle is "picked up" and rolled muscle length to distribute the area of tightness. Muscle showing up is another common technique. This is where slow, often deep strokes are applied to the muscle along their entire length.
neuromuscular massage therapy should never cause pain, although some discomfort should be expected. When considering any massage technique, you should always consult a primary care doctor because there are certain conditions that are contraindicated. In other words, when it is not intending to receive a massage.
