Neuromuscular therapy is trigger point therapy. Trigger point therapy is muscles or connective tissue that hurts when pressure is applied. Once we work on the muscle, we try different techniques. We start off with superficial layers and then we go into the deeper layers. Once we feel that the muscle is released, then the pain tends to alleviate. People come for massage. It’s a part of the healing process to feel better, to walk better. It’s an overall health benefit.
