Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is a specialised form of massage that focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of pain, muscle dysfunction, and postural imbalances. Unlike a relaxation massage, NMT applies targeted pressure to trigger points, adhesions, and areas of tension to restore proper movement and relieve pain.

Yes, NMT is highly effective for managing chronic pain conditions such as sciatica, lower back pain, migraines, TMJ dysfunction, and repetitive strain injuries. By addressing muscular imbalances and nerve irritation, it helps reduce pain and improve mobility.
-
You may feel some discomfort during the treatment, especially when working on tight muscles or trigger points, but it should always be manageable. The pressure is adjusted to your comfort level, and the goal is relief, not excessive pain.
-
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition and how your body responds to treatment. Some clients feel relief after one session, while others with chronic issues may need multiple treatments combined with exercises and lifestyle adjustments.
-
Yes, aftercare is important! Staying hydrated, stretching, and following any movement or posture recommendations can help maintain results. You may experience mild soreness for a day or two, similar to post-workout soreness, but this is normal and a sign that your body is adjusting.
