The Neuromuscular Therapy courses of study include classes focusing on physiological problems and Western methods of treatment. This path will prepare massage therapists to practice in a clinical setting with techniques specific for treatment of sports injuries, chronic pain, postural dysfunction and other types of physical problems. The approach is most appropriate for working closely with the Western medical model and will provide the therapist with a clear understanding of medical terminology and the ability to interact with professionals in that environment. This path provides preparation for the therapist interested in techniques desired for working in the Chiropractic Office, Sports Clinic, Pain Management Clinic, Physical Therapy Office, Health Club or Spa environment.

This course further develops the applications of the basic neuromuscular concepts and techniques presented in the introductory class; specifically, the Trigger point theory and treatments of
Janet Travell, and the assessment and remediation of soft tissue lesions developed by James Cyriax.
