Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) 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 and are treated primarily with the application of sustained static pressure. This pressure can vary from very light to heavy depending on the stage of development of the trigger point and also the massage recipient's level of comfort.
