How is neuromuscular therapy practiced?
Neuromuscular therapy consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm. The pressure is usually applied with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Once applied to a muscle spasm, the pressure should not vary for ten to thirty seconds. After the muscle is relaxed in this way the lactic acid will be released and the muscle should start receiving enough blood and oxygen. Following a neuromuscular therapy massage, any resulting soreness should fade after 24 to 36 hours. The muscles that were tight should remain noticeably more relaxed for four to fourteen days, depending on stress, activity level, and severity of pain prior to beginning NMT. What neuromuscular therapy degrees or certificates are available? Testing for certification is optional and permitted only after the completion of NMT training courses. Where can I get training?
