Neuromuscular massage, also known as trigger point therapy, aims to alleviate stress and release tension in trigger points by applying firm pressure directly to the taut tissue for a duration of 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The objective of sustained pressure is to manually relax the fibers and promote blood flow to the previously deprived area, ultimately facilitating healing and alleviating pain. Skilled massage therapists can identify trigger points by understanding the patient's pain patterns.
It is important to note that pressing on a myofascial trigger point may cause discomfort, and effective communication between patients and therapists is crucial to determine tolerability. The pain should subside shortly after the pressure is released, though mild soreness may persist for a few hours. This discomfort can be managed with topical pain medication or ice therapy.
A therapist trained in trigger point massage can assess the muscle and determine the number of therapy sessions necessary to improve muscle tone, balance, and strength.
With its focus on addressing tight muscle tissue trigger point massage therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking relief from related issues. Improved posture and enhanced spinal support are among these advantages that contribute significantly to patients' overall well being. Furthermore. This form of therapy positively impacts joint health by improving the condition of muscles connected to them. Ultimately leading to a broader range of motion in these joints.
