Neuro-Muscular Massage
Neuromuscular Therapy, also known as Trigger Point Therapy, can help individuals experiencing structural distortion, biomechanical dysfunction and accompanying pain that is often a symptom of underlying problems. It is used to locate and release spasms and hyper contraction in the tissues; eliminate trigger points, that cause referred pain; restore postural alignment, proper biomechanics and flexibility to the tissues; rebuild the strength of injured tissues, and assist venous and lymphatic flow.
Neuromuscular Therapy is an effective and economically feasible method of treatment for:
• Decreasing Body Toxicity
