Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) is a specialized form of massage that focuses on the treatment of soft tissue with the intent to balance the central nervous system with the structure and form of the musculoskeletal system. NMT is used to locate and release spasms and hypercontraction in the tissues, eliminate trigger points that cause referred pain, rebuild the strength of injured tissues, assist venous and lymphatic flow, and restore postural alignment, proper biomechanics, and flexibility to the tissues.

How NMT Helps With Nerve Impingement

Nerve impingements or "pinched nerves" occur when a nerve is compressed or irritated. Neuromuscular Therapy addresses this issue directly through targeted massage techniques that relieve pressure on nerves and surrounding tissues.

Pinched Nerve in the Hip (Femoral Nerve)

  • Symptoms: Pain, numbness, or reduced mobility in the hip or groin area.

  • How NMT Helps: Techniques focus on loosening tight muscle groups around the hip, enhancing blood flow and reducing nerve compression.

Pinched Nerve in the Back (Lumbar Nerve)

  • Symptoms: Lower back pain that can extend to the legs.

  • How NMT Helps: Relieves tension in the lower back muscles and connective tissue, easing the pressure on lumbar nerves.

Pinched Nerve in the Shoulder (Brachial Plexus)

  • Symptoms: Pain and numbness radiating from the shoulder into the arm and hand.

  • How NMT Helps: Massage therapy focuses on the shoulder and upper back areas to release trapped nerves in the brachial plexus.

Pinched Nerve in the Neck (Cervical Nerve)

  • Symptoms: Neck pain and radiating discomfort in the arms or hands.

  • How NMT Helps: Gentle techniques aim to relieve muscle tightness in the neck and upper shoulders, alleviating stress on cervical nerves.

Other Common Areas for Nerve Impingement

  • Sciatica (Pinched Sciatic Nerve): Techniques target the lower back and hips to relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve.

  • Pinched Ulnar Nerve: Focuses on the elbow and forearm areas to reduce nerve compression.

  • Fibularis (Peroneal) Nerve Impingement: Specialized massage around the outer lower leg and knee to relieve symptoms.

  • Sacral Nerve Impingement: Addresses tightness in the lower back and sacral area.

Benefits of Neuromuscular Massage Therapy

  • Pain Relief: Directly targets the source of pain through precise techniques.

  • Increased Mobility: Restores function and range of motion.

  • Reduced Inflammation: Promotes better blood circulation, which aids in reducing swelling and inflammation.
