NeuroMuscular Reprogramming vs Neuromuscular Therapy
NeuroMuscular Reprogramming
Neuromuscular Reprogramming (NMR) is a specialized form of bodywork and rehabilitation that aims to address pain and movement dysfunction by targeting the motor control center in the brain. It seeks to “rewrite” dysfunctional movement patterns that have developed due to injuries, overuse, or other factors, by improving the communication between the brain and muscles.
Layman’s terms
During an NMR session I like to say “the primary muscle I work with is Cranius Maximus” or the brain. The muscle tests I ask the body to perform are designed to determine which muscles are working and which ones are inhibited. Then we make corrections, retest and teach the brain to find the muscles that have fallen off it’s radar. This process makes the body and all movements much easier and greatly reduces pain and inhibition patterns. I have been using this technique for 21 of my 23 years in practice and can say unequivocally every body can benefit from NMRNeuromuscular Reprogramming (NMR) is a specialized form of bodywork and rehabilitation that aims to address pain and movement dysfunction by targeting the motor control center in the brain.

Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specialized form of massage that focuses on treating trigger points and muscle imbalances to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It involves applying concentrated pressure to specific areas of muscle spasm, often using fingers, knuckles, or elbows, to release tension and restore proper blood flow. Unlike general Deep Tissue Massage, NMT is more targeted and requires specialized training to identify and address the root cause of pain.
The differences
I am not trained in NMT other than some continuing ed classes and massage school. I do not use it or Trigger Point because if I can clear the imbalance in the muscle pattern through NMR, then it is not needed. NMR is also nearly painless while NMT can be painful, especially when used by an inexperienced practitioner.
