Neuromuscular massage is a progressive massage that works the muscles from superficial to deep levels. It stimulates the neuro-integumentary system to achieve effective relaxation of muscular fibres in clients with complex muscular problems. This technique has many advantages for therapists, as it is:

• Segmented: a therapist can use is as a complementary technique that will work when other techniques have failed;
• Specific to muscle relaxation, as opposed to sensory experience;
• Suitable for a clinical clientele with more specific needs;
• Effective in acting on both the superficial and deep musculature;
• Indicated when there is a problem or pain (muscular system);
• Indicated for stress management (nervous system).

Required material:

• Flat sheets to cover both the table and the therapist (X 2)
• Hand towels (X 2)
• Paper and pen for notetaking
