Muscle Work
​Neuromuscular Therapy

I​n addition to reducing pain, these treatments can increase energy levels and circulations, improve posture, and restore flexibility, strength, and ease of movement. Whether your injury is new or you've been living with pain for a while, neuromuscular treatments can restore full-body health

Muscle work is not a massage.


How Does This Therapy Work?
This therapy is done by manipulating pained areas with stretching and self-care tactics. Similar to massage and physical therapy, this treatment manually stimulates the body to reduce pain and increase flexibility. The best example of this treatment is using pressure points in the muscles on the neck to reduce neck pain. Additionally, this therapy will teach you the stretches and self-care habits you should use at home to improve your health and reduce the likelihood of additional injuries.

Posture
Usually, poor posture is caused by stress and strain on the body. For example, slumping forward may be caused by tension in the spine, back, or shoulders. The trouble with poor posture is that it creates a cascading effect over time; poor spinal posture today means back pain tomorrow and potentially spinal degeneration as you age.
Muscle work can improve posture by releasing tension in the muscles that contributes to incorrect spinal alignment. Improving posture with neuromuscular (muscle work) treatments can be done by treating the the areas of the body affected and inhibiting posture.

Better Healing
Traditionally, treatments for muscle aches and pains are treated by alternating ice, heat, and rest. But because it takes a long time for muscles to fully heal, traditional treatments are not effective in the long-run. In fact, many people simply learn to live with muscle pain until it eventually gets better. But when muscles do not heal correctly, you are more prone to more muscle injuries in the future. 
Neuromuscular treatment will ensure that your muscle injury is healed correctly so that you can avoid repeat injuries in the future. This is particularly important for those who lead active lifestyles or those who work physical  or repetitive jobs.
