A healing approach that includes careful observation and evaluation of posture and movement patterns, NMT involves specific and thorough manipulation of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to release contracted tissue, increase circulation, erase trigger points, reduce nerve entrapment, and correct postural distortion. These techniques are very effective in the treatment of acute and chronic pain due to injury, stress, repetitive strain, postural distortion, post-surgical syndromes, and chronic neuromuscular conditions. The client may or may not be required to undress in an NMT session.
If you are specifically looking to address TMJ and jaw pain, NMT can be a great option in finding relief. Prior to your scheduled appointment, do not eat or chew any foods or substances that will tax the jaw muscles ie. anything hard, super chewy or sticky. Softer foods are recommended.
