Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) is a form of manual therapy that uses static pressure on myofascial points to relieve pain. Fingers, knuckles, and elbows are used to manipulate muscles, tendons and other connective tissue to balance the central nervous system. NMT addresses these following five causes of pain: a) Ischemia: Lack of blood supply to soft tissues which causes hypersensitivity to touch; b) Trigger Points: Highly irritated points in muscles which refer pain to other parts of the body; c) Nerve Compression or Entrapment: Pressure on a nerve by soft tissue, cartilage or bone; d) Postural Distortion: Imbalance of the muscular system resulting from the movement of the body off the longitudinal and horizontal planes; and e) Biomechanical Dysfunction: Imbalance of the musculoskeletal system resulting in faulty movement patterns.
