What is Neuromuscular Massage Therapy?
"Neuromuscular massage therapy is a specialized form of manual massage in which digital pressure and friction are used to release areas of strain in a muscle. Strain areas are called tender or trigger points, and they tend to be the cause of ongoing muscular pain symptoms. These trigger points are small areas of the muscle in which there is a contracture of tissue, and the lack of blood and nutrients in that area causes an inability for that muscle to relax. The area is hypersensitive and can cause pain, fatigue, and weakness in the muscle. Trigger points can lead to referral pain, which refers to a phenomenon in which areas far away from the trigger point experience sensations of pain, tingling or numbness."
Veterans Massage
In recent years the Veteran Administration has started recognizing the benefits of alternative care. This includes massage therapy. Given that we are a military family, we are passionate about our military, past and present, getting the best care. Both our massage therapists are approved by the VA to do massage on veterans. Like all things government, there is a process to get the referral in place. Call us for details. We will gladly assist you in getting signed up for these benefits.
