Welcome to Salov Neuromuscular Therapy!

We provides therapeutic massage, accurate assessment and targeted treatment to address a multitude of soft tissue pain ranging from bad posture to recurring injuries.  We also provide treatment for relaxation in order to maintain healthy muscular tissue. 

Neuromuscular Therapy:

Neuromuscular therapy is a specialized form of deep tissue massage in which digital pressure and friction are used to release areas of strain in the muscle.  These areas of strain are called tender or trigger points and are the cause of muscular pain symptoms.

Trigger points are areas of hypersensitivity in a muscle caused by overstrain.  These are small areas of the muscle in which there is a contracture of muscular tissue (think of a tiny snag in a knit sweater).  Blood and nutrients are lacking in that part of the muscle and therefore the muscle spindle is unable to relax.  Trigger points cause pain, fatigue and weakness in the muscle.  Trigger points also cause a phenomenon called referral pain.

Neuromuscular therapy is used to treat many different soft tissue problems.  The following list is a small example of issues that may be helped by neuromuscular therapy:

Neck pain
Back pain
Muscular pain
Joint pain
Trauma and Sports Injury
Post Surgical Treatment.
