• "Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is different from relaxation massage.
  • The people we see have specific problems. The treatments we provide draw from a wide variety of body work techniques which we combine under the moniker of our core work 'Neuromuscular Therapy.'
  • We try to help our clients reach their goals as quickly and efficiently as possible and then send them off to live a good life. 
  • We're not  interested in having folks become dependent on us week after week to keep the same old pain at bay.
  • We actually want to resolve the source of that pain, so it is no longer an issue!
  • While we strive to educate and help our clients help themselves, most choose to continue with us for a regular schedule of maintenance, knowing these regular tune ups will help them prevent future injury and gain a better understanding of their musculoskeletal system and biomechanics."   ~Rebecca Saindon, Director

 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.
