Neuromuscular Therapy

What makes NMT different from Deep Tissue Work?

Deep Tissue

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)

FOCUS: Trigger points & nerve-muscle communication

PRESSURE: Targeted & sustained

GOAL: Address root cause & postural issues

SESSIONS: Often repeated for lasting results

FOCUS: General muscle tension

PRESSURE: Broad, deeper strokes

GOAL: Relax muscles temporarily

SESSIONS: Occasional for relaxation

VS.

NMT is clinically-driven and corrective, whereas deep tissue is more spa-oriented

Both have their benefits and are offered during your

Integrative Massage session

What is NMT?

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a targeted massage technique that relieves chronic muscle tension and nerve entrapment by applying focused pressure to “trigger points” — tight knots that refer pain elsewhere in your body. Unlike a typical spa massage, NMT is results-focused, helping your nervous and muscular systems regain balance for lasting relief.

Key Benefits of NMT

• Deep, lasting pain relief—by addressing the root cause, not just masking symptoms

• Improved range of motion — release muscle tightness and increase flexibility

• Better posture & biomechanics — retrain muscle function for long-term alignment

• Enhanced circulation — targeted pressure brings more blood and oxygen to muscles

• Reduced stress & improved mental well-being — muscle tension release calms the nervous system

• Faster injury recovery & prevention — consistent treatment helps muscles stay healthy

What to expect during your session

• Detailed assessment – your therapist reviews your health history, posture, and pain points

• Targeted pressure – sustained pressure (10–30 seconds) is applied to each trigger point using fingers, knuckles, or elbows

• Stretching & release techniques – including myofascial release and gentle stretching to reprogram muscles

• Follow-up care – including tips like Epsom salt baths, ice, or stretches to support healing

• Realistic treatment plan – NMT is often done over multiple sessions, not just one deep massage

Who Can Benefit from NMT?

NMT is ideal if you’re dealing with:

• Chronic pain like back pain, neck tension, tension headaches, sciatica, TMJ issues, or fibromyalgia

• Repetitive strain from work or hobbies

• Postural imbalances — slumped shoulders, forward head posture, poor ergonomics

• Anyone seeking improved mobility, circulation, and stress relief

Hi, I'm Arielle

"Relaxation and rest aren’t just luxury gifts we give ourselves, but essential components of healthy living."

My journey into massage and bodywork began with training at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine, focusing on medical massage and neuromuscular therapy.

Since 2019, I've been a licensed and nationally certified therapist, helping clients in various spa settings with goals from relaxation to pain relief. My education continued with training in oncology massage and prenatal/postnatal massage.

As a mother of three, I'm especially passionate about helping pregnant individuals find relief, believing relaxation and rest are essential for healthy living.

When I'm not working, you can find me baking, dancing with my kids, or gardening. If you're unsure which type of massage is best for you, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to create a personalized plan for your healing and wellness.
