Neuromuscular bodywork alleviates trigger points, which are areas of hyper-irritable muscle fiber stuck in contraction. Fibers "locked short" due to occupational/recreational repetitive motion, over-exertion, strain from sudden movement or unhealthy postural habits, results in trapped metabolic waste. Accumulating waste in the contractile unit of a muscle fiber prevents blood flow and develops into the dreaded "pain-spasm-pain" cycle. Range-of-motion is restricted, setting the stage for chronic conditions. Using a carefully gauged system of hand applications, neuromuscular therapy rids the muscle of waste. Combined with specific gentle stretching, this therapy promotes blood flow and restores the muscle to a normalized state. Ideal for upper back and neck release, rotator cuff issues; foot, hand and arm pain; back, hip and leg problems. TMJD, injuries and chronic conditions are often greatly helped and even eliminated. Many types of headaches are relieved.
