What is Neuromuscular Massage Therapy?
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) was made popular by Paul St. John and it is a massage modality that focuses on the treatment of trigger points. They are called trigger points because they refer pain to another part of the body. Trigger points are painful points located within taut bands of muscle, hypertonicity, and are treated primarily with the application of sustained, usually static pressure. Sometimes this is referred to as ischemic pressure and can vary from very light to heavy depending on the stage of development of the trigger point. Through the softening of trigger points, NMT aims to reduce chronic pain, increase range of motion, and correct postural distortions.
What are the most effective massage techniques for targeting pressure points to alleviate headaches?
The most effective massage techniques for targeting pressure points to alleviate headaches include acupressure, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue massage. These techniques can help release tension and improve blood flow to reduce headache symptoms.
How does neuromuscular massage?
Neuromuscular massage usually involves treatment to trigger points, which are located in taut bands of muscle fiber bundles. The therapy usually involves the use of ischemic pressure applied to the trigger point so that it releases its tension by resetting the muscle spindles that promote muscle contraction.

The overall affect would be to relax the muscles.
