Alternate levels of slow, specific pressure during Neuromuscular Therapy relieve muscle spasms by applying gentle force to trigger points where the nearby bone and muscle connect. Chronic tension in muscle fibers – due to injury, over-use and poor posture – can tighten muscles, creating points of pain. Compressing these pressure points for 10- to 30-second intervals relaxes the muscles and releases stores of lactic acid, while encouraging blood and oxygen circulation.
