What is Neuromuscular Massage Therapy?

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy and Bodywork is understanding the body and brain work together in a complex system. The Therapist changes tension in connective tissue, eliminates trigger points and referring pain, and improves mood, function, brain/body balance.

This is anything but temporary.

So Many Tools and Techniques

AAT- Associative Awareness Technique and Sensory Flow(TM): By addressing the sensory processors of the skin, the neural pathways of safety are reinforced and traumatic responses are rewired. The outcome is a profound release of stress, tension, and a renewed sense of calm and balance that has lasting effects. SMRT-Spontaneous Muscle Release Therapy(TM): Positional releases that honor the brain and body by releasing chronically tense areas, and recruitment of chronically inhibited muscles.

PRRT- Pain Reflex Release Technique(TM): Addresses the autonomic nervous system with quick reflexive tapping that restores nervous system balance and eliminates pain.

MFR- Myofascial Release Therapy(TM): Slow and deliberate connective tissue manipulation to change the fascial matrix that impedes muscle movement, entraps nerves, and creates globalized/localized pain syndromes.

CranioSacral Therapy(TM)- Subtle changes in the rhythm of cerebral spinal fluid needed to flow and bathe the brain and spinal cord can become dysfunctional as a result of injury and illness. CST can restore the natural flow, resulting in reduced headaches, body aches, misalignments, and promote the body's ability to heal itself.

Reiki- by working with the body's subtle energy, this ancient technique is a safe and intuitive method of healing spirit, body, and mind.

ORB LIFE (TM) Products- See the ORB Life products page for info on infrared heat, PEMF-pulsed electromagnetic frequency mats, and more to heal the body from the cell to the skin.

ART- Acoustic resonance therapy. Can the treatment table make that much of a difference? If it has So Sound (TM) Pods that vibrate with music and sound, it does!
