Neuromuscular Massage addresses overall posture and how it is related to dysfunctions of the body.

We practice and study the St. John Method of Neuromuscular Therapy which has been renamed Neurosomatic Therapy. This is a very prescise type of work addressing myofascial pain and trigger points. It is researched by Janet Travell, M.D. and described in Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins 1993.

We chart the body so that we have a "roadmap" which shows us the course that out session is to follow. Also by using a chart the client becomes aware of changes that have occured during the session. Thru the use of a chart we are able to determine what muscles need to be addressed thru Neuromuscular Massage or Trigger point work.

By releasing the proper trigger points we facilitate relaxation of the involved muscles which decreases the pull of tonus. Releasing the proper muscles will contribute into placing the body back into efficient posture. After efficient posture is obtained we observe and correct the clients movement patterns to assist the client into the most efficient movement attainable. We educate the client about proper posture and movement patterns.

Neuromuscular Massage addresses the whole body. The cranium is balanced with the pelvis, proper movement patterns are restored, and the body utilizes energy more efficiently. The result is a life feeling more energized and alive.
