What Is Neuromuscular Massage Treatment

?

Neuromuscular massage treatment

is a specialized type of manual therapy that uses static pressure to offer pain relief. This type of therapy concentrates on the irritable spots found within tight muscles or the fascia, which are the connective tissues that surround muscles, referred to as trigger points. These places can create pain by shortening the muscle, which causes pain in other trigger sites.

This type of massage therapy can also assist other problems which could also cause pain like ischemia. Ischemia is a reduced blood supply, mostly found in areas that have tight muscles. Trapped or compressed nerves are another condition which create pain and is pressure on the muscle due to tightness. This kind of massage will also relieve pain and tightness caused by postural or biomechanical problems, which imbalances in posture or how a person moves can cause pain.

A neuromuscular massage treatment

session will increase circulation to the problem area in question and unlock the tightness and adhesions. This is when muscles get fused and reduce pain. It also boosts mood by increasing certain chemicals, such as serotonin and endorphins, and increases immunity by letting a person’s immune cells work more efficiently, thus helping with the detoxification process. It also enhance performance by increasing muscle flexibility, which in turn increases stamina and coordination.

Some techniques are alternating or prolonging ischemic compression. This means applying pressure directly onto the knotted area which will cause pain for no more than 10 seconds. This makes blood rush to this area. Pressure is reapplied and released again until pain is reduced.

Prolonged ischemic compression will be used until a release is felt. This release is a softening of the tightened spot. Once this is felt, the therapist will increase the pressure. Each release takes from a couple of seconds to a full minute.
