Neuromuscular Therapy, also known as trigger point therapy, is an advanced system of soft tissue manipulation that specializes in chronic myofascial pain syndromes. Part of the procedure includes an attempt to determine the causes, or perpetuating factors, of the condition, and then to determine the best approach toward resolution. Topics are assessment skills, development of palpation skills, the study of trigger point theory and corresponding pain patterns and learning how to use NMT to effectively reduce pain, increase range of motion and to move toward restoring normal quality of life.
