What is
NMT? Think of it as Holistic Orthopedics. This specific and
scientific approach to muscular pain relief will help to normalize functional communication between the musculoskeletal
system and the nervous system. Many People seek out 'Deep Tissue' massage, and while NMT is technically a deep tissue technique,
it is not about the depth of pressure, but rather about specificity -- the specific placement of pressure. If the therapist
is on the exact muscle fibers involved, they will not necessarily need to exert a heavy hand in order to be effective. We
do not subscribe to the "no pain, no gain" philosophy in our application of Neuromuscular Therapy. NMT enhances the function of joints, muscles, and
biomechanics (movement). It is a noninvasive and economically feasible method of pain treatment in Nashville and is effective
in treating cases like low back pain, neck pain, arm and shoulder pain, hip and knee problems, TMJ pain, headache, and
scoliosis. When used in conjunction with other medical modalities, Therapeutic Neuromuscular Massage can be a very
efficient part of a comprehensive treatment plan. We are happy to work in conjunction with your Physician or other Healthcare
Provider. Or NMT is itself a stand-alone treatment approach.

The Nashville Neuromuscular
Center Therapeutic Massage the Nashville
Neuromuscular Center way begins with a thorough assessment of the client's individual posture, history, and movement patterns.
Then your therapist designs a program to address and correct any imbalances. Early on, Rebecca realized that therapeutic
massage alone was not enough - that specific and precise strengthening is a key element in the process of relieving pain
and restoring posture. Twelve years ago she became certified as a personal fitness trainer and began study with Paul
Chek to ensure the knowledge necessary to be working within this scope of expertise. At that time she expanded
NNC to include a small private gym onsite. Soon after Keith McCord was certified as a level one Chek Practitioner and
Exercise Coach. And now Lisa Brown is pursuing education with the Chek principals of corrective exercise and Posture Fitness.
Our therapists are all trained in posture correcting exercise and advanced clinical massage techniques. . The Nashville Neuromuscular Center is a multidisciplinary practice offering
the skilled application of several therapeutic massage and manual techniques toward a single result
- relieving pain by restoring posture. Our ultimate goal is to facilitate your ability to attain the
most efficient body posture to maximize painfree movement patterns, and to educate you about how to maintain this
posture without being dependent on any particular therapist or modality to keep you functioning well. NNC's therapeutic
massage therapists strive to maintain the highest credentials in the field and approach their work from a holistic viewpoint.
They are committed to providing excellent care. All therapists on staff are well trained and produce results
as can be witnessed in the pages of our client testimonials.
