Advanced NMT

Recommended for clients with a history of prolonged pain: Whiplash, Overuse (occupational or sports), Nerve Entrapments, TMJ Dysfunction, Bursitis, Tendonitis.

Advanced NMT sessions are recommended for people with prolonged, troublesome, and often enigmatic pain and dysfunction. Treatments address soft tissue sources of the pain derived from muscle, fascia, tendons, ligament, and nerve entrapments.

360 NMT's Advanced practitioners are nationally certified in Neuromuscular Therapy (CNMT) and trigger point therapy (CMTPT). They use an ‘evidence-informed’ neuromuscular approach to resolve pain.

Examples of cases recommended to work at the Advanced level in the upper body include whiplash, headache and migraine, TMJ, neck and shoulder pain, epicondylosis, and carpal tunnel syndrome, among others. Examples in the lower body include chronic back pain, pelvic pain, sciatic and hip pain, IT Band syndrome, patella femoral syndrome, and plantar fasciitis.

Initial evaluations include a detailed postural assessment and muscle length testing to ascertain the effect of short and tight muscles on bones and joints. Manual and soft-tissue techniques are used to deactivate trigger points, improve muscular imbalance, resolve nerve entrapments, and correct static and dynamic postural distortion.

Advanced NMT sessions also identify, modify, and/or remove precipitating or perpetuating pain factors. Results include decreased pain, increased circulation, and joint range-of-motion. Homecare activities may be recommended to expedite recovery time.
