Neuromuscular therapy addresses soft tissue pain by looking at five separate causes for it. One is trigger points, which is a localized area with increased nerve facilitation, resulting in hypertonicity of a muscular bundle with resulting pain patterns. Two is postural distortion, which is when there is an anatomical misalignment of the major structural muscles that provide the body with support. The third is ischemia, which is a lack of circulation of blood and oxygen to specific areas of the body. The fourth is biomechanical dysfunction, which is the improper balancing of the body as it makes various anatomical movements. The fifth is nerve impingement, which is pressure on a nerve by skin, fascia, muscles, ligaments, or joints.
It’s a treatment aimed at relieving pain and mobility issues caused by myofascial tissue tightness.
‘Myo’ means muscle and ‘fascial’ refers to the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles.
It involves applying gentle, sustained pressure on the soft tissues while tractioning and stretching the fascia.
It can help with chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular joint disorder, and more.
While similar, it specifically targets the fascia rather than general muscle tension.
Sessions typically range from 30 to 60 minutes.
Yes, self-myofascial release is possible with tools like foam rollers.
You may feel discomfort as fascial restrictions are released, but it shouldn’t be painful.
It’s a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body.
It varies widely based on the individual’s condition and response to therapy.
