Neuromuscular Therapy in Austin, TX
Targeted Pain Relief. Restored Function. Better Movement.
When pain lingers despite massage, stretching, or rest, the problem is often deeper than “tight muscles.” Neuromuscular issues—imbalances, trigger points, and nerve compression—can all create chronic discomfort, reduced mobility, and performance setbacks.
At Workhouse Wellness in Austin, our Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) treatments target the connection between your muscles and nervous system. We focus on muscular imbalances, trigger points, and nerve entrapments to address the root cause of pain. The goal: restore function, ease nerve irritation, and help you move with more control and less effort.
Why Neuromuscular Therapy Matters
NMT is more than deep pressure — it’s a corrective system that evaluates how your body is loading and moving, then works to rebalance it. With strategic application, Neuromuscular Therapy can:
Relieve chronic pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back
Reduce nerve compression that causes numbness or tingling
Improve posture by addressing muscular imbalances
Support injury recovery by resolving compensation patterns
Enhance performance by optimizing muscular function
Research shows that neuromuscular therapies can significantly improve chronic musculoskeletal pain and mobility (National Institutes of Health; Mayo Clinic).
Who Neuromuscular Therapy Is For
Neuromuscular Therapy is ideal if you:
Have chronic neck, shoulder, or low-back pain that keeps coming back
Experience sciatica, nerve compression, or tingling in the arms or legs
Deal with headaches or jaw pain that flare with stress or posture
Sit at a desk or drive for long stretches and feel it in your back or shoulders
Train hard and keep running into the same muscle strains or “hot spots”
Want to address the root cause of pain instead of relying on constant symptom relief
If you’ve tried traditional massage without lasting relief, Neuromuscular Therapy may be the missing link. For more complex issues, we can also integrate work with Manual Therapy & Bodywork Performance Recovery, or Orthopedic Physical Therapy when appropriate.
How Neuromuscular Therapy Fits with Rehab and Performance
Neuromuscular Therapy can stand alone, but it often works best as part of a bigger plan. For some clients, that means coordinating with orthopedic providers. For others, it means pairing hands-on work with stretching, strength, or movement coaching.
At Workhouse Wellness, Neuromuscular Therapy often supports:
Orthopedic physical therapy plans that need extra soft-tissue focus
Post-surgical rehab once you’ve cleared early healing milestones
Performance recovery work for runners, lifters, and field athletes
Long-standing pain patterns that haven’t responded to “general” massage
We look at what you’ve already tried, what your providers recommend, and what your day-to-day looks like—then build sessions that actually match your real life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Neuromuscular Therapy painful?
A: The pressure can feel intense at times, especially on trigger points, but it should never be intolerable. Our therapists work within your comfort level.
Q: How is this different from deep tissue massage?
A: Deep tissue massage focuses on muscle layers. Neuromuscular Therapy is more precise, targeting nerve pathways and correcting muscular imbalances.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Some clients notice relief after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments for lasting results. Your therapist will recommend a plan.
Q: Can NMT help with sciatica?
