What is NIMMO Therapy?
NIMMO Therapy, also known as Trigger Point Therapy, is a technique discovered by Raymond L. Nimmo, D.C. This technique is a highly specialized form of massage which main focus is finding and putting pressure on specific trigger points in the body with the end goal of releasing toxins and relieving muscle spasms.
What Are Trigger Points?
Stress, bad posture, dehydration, improper diet or an injury can cause muscles to tighten or spasm. Trigger points are highly dense areas of skeletal muscle that result from one or a combination of these causes.
How Are Trigger Points Released?
The doctor, using the NIMMO technique, finds the trigger points in your muscles by feeling your muscles for hard knots or protrusions. It takes great skill and expertise to know exactly how to locate these areas. Once found, a high degree of focused light pressure is placed on these areas and held in an effort to "break up" these knots and release any built up toxins. The patient may feel a slight pain during this process, but the end result is amazing. Patients go home feeling like never before.
