Neuro-Manual Muscle Stimulation or Neuromuscular Therapy, is a massage specialization within the alternative massage discipline that focuses on specific, precise techniques used to manipulate and improve the functioning of motor nerves. The exact techniques vary from client to client, but typically include the use of pressure points, trigger point release, stretching exercises, and the use of specialized creams. These methods are designed to reduce chronic muscle tension and eliminate the effects of repetitive stress injuries, such as herniated disks and spondylosis. It is also used to restore tissue elasticity, increase range of motion, and reduce pain and inflammation in a wide variety of conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, bursitis, brain injuries, neck and back pain, sprains and tendinitis, and soft tissue injuries.
What is Neuromuscular Therapy? Neuromuscular therapy is a special specialization within the massage discipline that deals with specific, precise techniques. These techniques generally target specific areas of the body, and are aimed to either decrease the impact of chronic tension and trigger points on these areas, or reduce the effects of microtrauma and microrepetition on said areas. For example, if someone is in a car accident, their therapist may apply the therapy to the top of their shoulder blade to relieve neck pain and stiffness, while stretching the lower back to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
As mentioned above, Neuro-Manual Massage therapy is sometimes applied to alleviate conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and herniated discs. This massage specialization is also often referred to as Temporomandibular Research, TMJ, or MMR. Temecula and Murrieta are two areas of Temecula. Temecula is located between the cervical and thoracic spine, and Murrieta is found between the lumbar and thoracic spine. These two areas share many similarities, such as the large amount of friction and movement that occurs between joints and muscles.
