Question

What is the difference between Neuromuscular Massage and Myofascial Release?

Answer 1

Myofascial release- This hands on technique seeks to free the body from the grip of tight fascia, or connective tissue, thus restoring normal alignment and function; reducing pain. Using their hands, practitioners apply mild, sustained pressure to gently stretch and soften the fascia.

Neuromuscular therapy or St. John or NMT- This modality emphasizes the role of the brain, spine, and nerves in muscular pain. One goal of this therapy is to relieve tender congested spots in muscle tissue and compressed nerves that may radiate pain to other areas of the body. Some similarity to trigger point therapy.  

Answer 2

myfascial release deals with the fascia (the covering of the muscles, joints, organs etc).

Neuromuscular massage deals with the triggerpoints which can be in the fascia as well as muscles.
