Neuromuscular massage is a specialized form of massage that works with the nervous system in order to release specific muscular holding patterns, and can be integrated into any massage. Neuromuscular work addresses myofascial trigger points, nerve entrapment and compression, dysfunctional gait patterns, and ischemia (lack of blood flow to specific tissues due to muscle tightness). I will often ask my clients to participate through deep breathing into the areas of focus as well as slow, specific movements.
