Who doesn’t love a good massage? Over the years, massage therapy has been used for healing. Doctors, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians, and physical therapists recommend their patients to get a massage at least once a month or whenever our bodies need it. Today at Mobile Styles we are going to talk about neuromuscular therapy and how this type of massage treats Trigger Points.

A neuromuscular massage is a highly specialized type of therapy that involves soft and deep tissue massage designed to relieve pain and release areas of pressure in the muscle. Neuromuscular massage therapy balances the nervous system with the muscular and skeletal systems, bringing the body back into the natural alignment.  

What are trigger points? In a book published by Dr. Janet Travell and Dr.David Simons called “The Trigger Point Manual on Upper Body and Lower Body Pain,” trigger points or tiny "knots" are the root of severe muscle pain and is caused by the lack of blood and nutrients in the muscle which generates tension.

What are the benefits of neuromuscular massage therapy? As mentioned before, neuromuscular therapy reduces or eliminates pains, improves flexibility, strength, and posture. It also increases circulation and energy.

Who should get a neuromuscular massage? Anyone who feels pain or “knots” in the muscles or those who suffer from carpal tunnel, lower and upper back pain, hip pain just to name a few.
