What Is Neuromuscular Massage Therapy?

Our neuromuscular therapy targets trigger points and restores balance to your muscles and nervous system, addressing the root causes of tension and discomfort for lasting relief.

At Release Muscle Therapy, we do more than just treat symptoms. Our approach focuses on uncovering the root causes of your pain and addressing them directly. By combining advanced muscle relief techniques, we target the areas that need the most attention, providing you with effective and lasting relief.

Neuromuscular therapy massage is a specialty within the massage field that focuses on specific techniques. These techniques target areas and aim to reduce the influence of trigger points and chronic muscle tension associated with postural and movement stress.

The name suggests the focus to be accessing the nervous system by way of manipulating the muscular tissues.

At Release Muscle Therapy, we go beyond the traditional scope of neuromuscular massage. By integrating nutrition, pain neuroscience, and psychological factors, we create an integrated healing effect that addresses both physical and emotional contributors to discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with neck pain, tension headaches, TMJ dysfunction, or issues like plantar fasciitis or rotator cuff pain, our techniques are customized to meet your specific needs. Neuromuscular therapy doesn’t just alleviate pain—it helps restore overall balance and efficiency to your body.

Chronic Pain Relief With Expert Neuromuscular Therapy in Temecula, CA

Discovery Before Massage Therapy
Discovery & Analysis

We begin by thoroughly evaluating the factors contributing to your discomfort, aiming to uncover the most critical elements of your pain experience. This process includes assessing your movements to identify patterns that may trigger discomfort, pinpointing specific areas of tension or pain, and understanding how your soft tissues respond to pressure or stress.

Analysis Before Massage Therapy
Personalized Action Plan

Using the insights gathered during the discovery phase, we craft a personalized action plan that directly addresses your body’s specific challenges. This plan strategically targets muscle imbalances, movement dysfunctions, and underlying sources of pain to prepare your body for effective healing. It includes precise interventions, clear goals and practical steps to guide your progress.

At Release Muscle Therapy we use a combination of Neuromuscular Therapy, Therapeutic Movement, Myofascial Release and Massage to:

Check Icon Reduce Pain

Neuromuscular therapy addresses trigger points and muscle imbalances, helping to alleviate chronic pain and discomfort by targeting the root causes.

Check Icon Ease Muscle Tension

By applying precise techniques to overactive or tight muscles, neuromuscular therapy releases tension and restores normal muscle tone.

Check Icon Restore Balance

This therapy improves the interaction between your muscles and nervous system, helping to correct imbalances and enhance overall function.

Check Icon Increase Range of Motion

Neuromuscular techniques help release tight areas and improve mobility, allowing you to move more freely and efficiently.

Check Icon Improve Flexibility

Gentle stretching and targeted techniques reduce stiffness in muscles and soft tissues, making it easier to achieve and maintain flexibility.

Check Icon Relieve Nerve Entrapment

By releasing soft tissue restrictions around nerves, neuromuscular therapy reduces pain and restores proper nerve function.

Check Icon Calm the Nervous System

Focused techniques help desensitize overactive nerves, promoting relaxation and reducing physical and emotional stress.

Check Icon Increase Blood Flow

By improving blood flow to affected areas, this therapy supports healing, tissue repair, and recovery.

Check Icon Support Overall Functionality

Neuromuscular therapy enhances muscle coordination, posture, and movement efficiency, helping your body perform at its best.

How Do Neuromuscular Techniques Work?

There are a variety of neuromuscular techniques available, and all of them have the same goals for the ideal outcome in mind: reducing excess muscle tone when it is too much or increasing muscle tone when there appears to be not enough.

Here are a few neuromuscular techniques I use when giving neuromuscular massage in Temecula:

  • Strain-Counterstrain
  • Reciprocal Inhibition
  • Post-Isometric Relaxation
  • Ischemic Compression
  • Dermoneuromodulation
  • Positional Release
  • Integrated Neuromuscular Technique

While these names can sound a bit complicated, the techniques themselves are quite simple. Some involve identifying tender spots in the tissues and just holding a static pressure until the nerve sensitivity diminishes, while others involve a gentle contraction for a longer period of time (from a few seconds to a minute or more), followed by a relaxation period for the muscle to recover.

Since everyone responds to techniques differently, it’s best to perform a thorough assessment of the situation prior to selecting the technique in order to achieve the desired outcome.
