There are many techniques we can employ when assisting people in injury rehab, and the ones we use depend on their injury and their medical situation. One such technique is neuromuscular care, and in this article we will discuss why this treatment is effective, as well as provide some insight into if it could be a viable option for your rehab plan.
Defining Neuromuscular Treatment
When we get injured, it’s easy to see how the different systems of the body work together. In almost any injury, the rest of the body will compensate for the injured part to help the entire body function. This inter-relation of bodily systems is at the root of many massage techniques, and neuromuscular therapy is no different. This approach aims to target specific trigger points in the body and stimulate them to improve recovery in the affected area. Neuromuscular rehab is performed by a licensed professional, and is done by applying consistent pressure to areas of the body where nerves and muscles interact together. This pressure causes the body to react, and it is proven to increase blood flow to the area, release tension, and improve pain. These aspects of neuromuscular care make it an ideal choice for accelerating injury recovery.
Effective and Professional Rehab Component
Neuromuscular care is best performed by a trained, experienced, and licensed professional, especially when being done as part of an injury recovery plan. When you work with an experienced and competent therapist, you can be assured the treatment you are receiving will aid in recovery and will not worsen the injury. Neuromuscular care is typically done alongside other components of injury rehab, such as physical therapy, and many of our clients benefit from other massage techniques during their recovery as well.
Therapy For Your Individual Needs
It is our goal to get to know our clients, and in the case of injury rehab treatments, we take special care to understand their health goals, pain level, and the full extent of their injury and medical care. We believe there is no “cookie-cutter” solution to massage therapy, and when you partner with us you will benefit from a personalized treatment plan. We take the extra time and care to fully explain and help our clients evaluate their options, and your comfort is our main priority.
