Part 2: three secrets to getting real results from one massage therapy session


Yesterday I covered Part 1: three results from one massage therapy session

Here is Part 2: three secrets to getting real results
=======================
  1. I use neuromuscular therapy (NMT) and gentle stretching as well as other complementary therapies which result in a unique session every visit. This client enjoys receiving a different type of session each week and has come to my office for several years.
  2. In NMT, a therapist may use a small hand tool called a T-bar to target a very specific area of the body. My training consists of NMT work on the upper extremity (arm and shoulder). This client was able to really tell the difference after receiving NMT as a part of my integrated therapy sessions
  3. In addition to living with upper back issues, this client's low back is frequently dysfunctional (dysfunction can present as "tight," "stiff," or even just "a little sore"). One way I help ease the dysfunction is to add stretching to a massage session. My training includes both assisted and passive stretching techniques. With this client I get good results with a gentle hand (light to moderate pressure) and hold each stretch for a few seconds. 
All I did was ask her if she felt better. Wow!
