Neuromuscular Therapy Certification
Program
Learn More Piscataway / 100 hours NCBTMB / $1700
Instructor: Brian Smith
Neuromuscular Therapy is an advanced system of soft tissue manipulation,
which specializes in working to alleviate Myofascial pain and pain syndromes.
This course is based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Janet Travell.
The effectiveness of the technique is based on two conditions: 1) the
therapist's assessment and treatment of muscle, tendon, and periosteal
attachments, and 2) addressing and reducing the causal factors contributing
to the chronicity.
During the 100 hour Neuromuscular Therapy program, origins, insertions
and actions of muscles to be treated will be revisited. Stressors, perpetuating
factors and trigger point pain referral patterns will be emphasized. Demonstrations
will be shown and application of NMT techniques will be performed.
Supplies needed for the series are: A set of sheets, bolster, towels,
a low drag salve (i.e. Cocoa butter), a notebook and a pen.
The modules may be taken as individual workshops once the Prerequisite
Theory class has be taken.
