Osteopath Leon Chaitow demonstrates neuromuscular techniques (NMT) as an efficient method of soft tissue manipulation. Involves thumb and/or finger application. Local soft tissue dysfunction has a significant relationship to pain and more general musculoskeletal dysfunction. NMT can be used to assess and treat hypertonic and/or fibrotic soft tissue dysfunction; assist in the elimination of myofascial trigger point activity; and prepare joints for subsequent manipulative attention. Neuromuscular techniques provide a common approach for all bodywork therapists and acupressure practitioners, allowing them to make precise and systemic evaluations of soft tissue problems.
