NeuroMuscular/Physical Therapies
In our clinic we have increasing demand for Neuromuscular/Physical therapy these tecniques alleviate deep-seated tension caused by repetitive strain and/or over use musclular insult/injury . It incorporates myofascial and muscular trigger and pressure point techniques in addition to body movement techniques.
Conditions successfully treated include: trapped nerves, muscle spasm, tennis and golfer's elbow, sciatica, back pain, lumbago, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain and shoulder tension... Neuromuscular therapy utilizes soft tissue techniques to enhance and restore range of motion, muscle balance, eliminate pain, improve circulation, improve posture, strength, physical and psychological fitness.
Neuromuscular therapy addresses 6 major points:
Ischemia (lack of blood supply to the soft tissue)
Trigger points (highly irritable tender spots in the skeletal muscle that refer pain to other parts of the body and can mimic any pain. For example a trigger point in the Piriformis muscle (gluteal area) can mimic “Sciatica”.
Postural distortion poor posture can unbalance the skeletal muscle system resulting in pain, aches and development of trigger points
Nerve entrapment or compression
Nutrition …how our diet affects our well being
Emotional well being everyday stresses can cause muscular tension leading to referred pain and soreness. For example trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle (shoulder area) can cause headaches.

Improve circulation, muscle balance, posture, eliminate pain,
Can help to achieve physical and psychological fitness, can target specific sport activities and specific sport timing (competitions, events…) to maximize muscular potential and speed recovery.
Injury prevention is paramount for any sports person, an experienced therapist will be able to give you the right advice by identifying and minimizing potential danger.
Can reduce muscle pain, muscle that are in spasm are painful to touch because of lack of blood flow (ischemia), lack of blood flow also means lack of oxygen which can cause production of lactic acid which means muscle soreness.
After massage the muscles will be more relaxed, blood rush through the fibres bringing oxygen and allowing lactic acid to dissipate getting rid of pain

Myofascial trigger points are the most commonly mis-diagnosed in chronic pain patients. they have been described by Dr Travel and Dr Simons as
“hyper-irritable spots in the skeletal muscles“.
A trigger point is very tender on compression and has a referred pain, can also have motor dysfunction, can cause headaches, backache and can pretty much mimic any pain in the body.
Dry needling is a great technique for the treatment of myofascial trigger points. It involves the use of “acupuncture needles“ but should not be confused with traditional acupuncture...
Over the years research has showed that myofascial trigger points can be injected with a large number of substances such as “ lidocaine ” with very good results but also research showed that in many circumstances it was just the needle alone eliciting a release effect on the trigger point itself, even better dry needling has virtually no side effects, some soreness is expected after treatment for up to 2-3 days and in some cases bruising may appear .
