Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a comprehensive program of soft tissue manipulation that balances the body's central nerveous system with the musculoskelatal system. Based on neurological laws that explain how the central nerveous system initiates and maintains pain, the goal is to relieve the pain and dysfunction by alleviating the underlying cause. NMT emphasizes the role of the brain, spine, and nerves in muscular pain. It uses advanced concepts in pressure therapy to break the stress-tension-pain cycle. It aims to relax muscle and release compressed nerves so that circulation can increase and the body will return to normal neuromuscular integrity and balance. The St. John Method is a type of NMT.
