Neuromuscular massage therapy or NMT is considered to be particular type of manual massage therapy. A professionally trained therapist is allowed to perform this massage. He should be adequately educated about the physiotherapy methods as this massage effects on the nervous system of the body.
The skeletal and muscular system of human body is equally experiences the effect of this method. He should also know all about biomechanics and have the temperament to work in the clinics where these types of massages are given. This massage involves special moves that targets the different myofascial points and releases the pain.
How the neuromuscular stimulation therapy works?
As a matter of fact this type of massage is performed on a special part of the body. The body parts which are used to exert the required pressure on the points are elbows, fingertips and sometimes a tiny tool called the t-bar is also used. This pressure is applied for about 30 seconds at a time. This method influences the supple tissue layer of the tendons, muscles and other connecting tissues that are present inside the body.
It also maintains the balance within the central nervous system. When the general functions of the nerves are disturbed due to reasons like trauma, wrong postural practices, injuries or stress, they start getting distorted and this leads to dysfunction of the body parts and also exerts severe pain. Neuromuscular massage therapy aids in releasing this extra stress and gradually improves the health of the nervous system.
What is the job of the neuromuscular massage therapists?
The task of the neuromuscular stimulation therapy practitioner is to apply continuous pressure at specific points of the body for quite a long span of time. Now they can feel themselves with the touch and also expect feedbacks from the clients whether the "spasm" that is responsible for the nervous system disorder has released or not. When they press the particular point the blood flow gets stopped but after the pressure is released blood starts flowing immediately.
This helps the area to access the oxygen of the blood and gradually the pain is healed. In few cases the ache gets cured instantly after the massage session is over. But there are people who often report to get results after one or two days. Some of them also experience slight soreness which eradicates after some time.
Benefits of neuromuscular therapy
There are five most important health disorders where the yogic neuromuscular therapy and the general neuromuscular therapy work really well. If you have Ischemia, a condition in which hyper touch sensitivity occurs due to less blood supply to the tender tissues of the body. Then it also work wonders to the trigger points of the body which are considered to be the maximum irritation points. If there is a problem in the cartilage bone or nerves the neuromuscular therapy can be really effective. Wrong posture, physical imbalances and biomechanical dysfunction of the body can be benefited easily with the help of this massage.
