Comparable to Neuromuscular Therapy, a modern logical system of massage therapy. Neuromuscular principles help the therapist to understand what's causing your pain: trigger points, posture, etc, and how to treat it. The nervous system controls everything in the body, including muscle tension and pain. Results-based rather than focusing on general relaxation.
This approach to massage is very detailed massage of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. Precise massage therapy releases problem areas that are missed by general massage. It often uses the thumbs or fingertips to explore tissues in detail. Elbows or forearms are also used, when necessary. Tense muscles often form bands of muscle fibers even tighter than the rest. These are areas of hyper tonicity and ischemia. Searching thoroughly, you can feel bands of tight muscle fibers; the areas that are in the most trouble. These are found and treated until they release.
This modality works to release muscles using specific neurological laws that are always constant. Follow the pain to its corresponding nerve; work to the origin of a muscle, muscle insertion and everything in-between. This approach very often does not include the full body, thorough but limited to the areas involved. This focus is incredibly relaxing and satisfying, as most people have never experienced such thorough treatment and attention to the areas of concern.
