Neuromuscular
therapy is also called trigger point myotherapy. The American Academy of
Pain Management recognizes this form of massage therapy as an effective
treatment for back pain caused by soft tissue injury (such as a muscle
strain). Neuromuscular therapy consists of alternating levels of
concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm. The massage therapy
pressure is usually applied with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Once
applied to a muscle spasm, the pressure should not vary for ten to thirty
seconds. |
