When you book your first session at Organic Mechanics, what can you expect? How will NMT be different than other methods you’ve tried? We understand that many of our clients come to us having exhausted other treatment options. Some are dealing with chronic pain, avoiding the things they love to do. Here’s what you’ll experience at your first visit with us.
Detailed Assessments Make For Effective Treatment Plans
During your initial session, we want to hear it all! What are the symptoms you’re experiencing? When did they start? We’ll ask a series of detailed questions to make sure we understand what’s going on. In many cases, we find over the course of conversation that symptoms are linked. Sometimes issues that seem unrelated actually aren’t! While other providers may have dismissed your concerns, going straight to pharmaceuticals or surgical recommendations, we take the time to listen completely to your story.
A Quick Introduction To Manual NMT Techniques
When you’re in pain, especially for weeks or months, the muscles and other soft tissues become inflamed and tight. As a result, we can’t just get in there at full throttle. Initially, we’ll focus on some immediate relief by releasing some of the most affected areas. This short manual session gives you an idea of what to expect going forward. Over the coming weeks, we will gradually increase the intensity as your body begins opening up to tackle the full range of the problem.
Recommendations For Lifestyle Changes
Even with once or twice a week treatment from us, you’ll need to make some changes outside of our office in order to heal. Otherwise, your visits will quickly just become damage control. Don’t worry – it won’t be a massive overhaul (most likely!). We can recommend some simple changes to keep from re-injuring the problem areas while we work on them. A few things we might suggest:
- An ice regimen
- Ergonomic adjustments to your working desk (healthy sitting habits)
- Limiting or discontinuing certain activities temporarily
- Stretching
At Organic Mechanics, we take a “bigger picture” approach to healing, which includes your sessions here and your lifestyle at home. The combination of the two becomes critical to the effectiveness of treatment, and how long you’ll need to see us. Our goal is to maximize your treatment sessions by lessening the compound effect of daily activities/habits. See for yourself the difference in our approach, right from the start. Our online scheduler makes it easy to book a consultation and start your healing journey. Simply choose a “new patient” appointment at a time that works for you. See you soon!
Fibromyalgia Relief
Living with fibromyalgia can be exhausting, painful, and overwhelming. This chronic condition affects millions of people, causing widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and tender points throughout the body. While traditional treatments often include medication and physical therapy, many patients continue to struggle with discomfort and limited mobility. A natural solution lies in myofascial release therapy combined with neuromuscular therapy, offering real relief and improved quality of life.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that causes widespread musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and fatigue. The pain is often linked to trigger points in the fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. When fascia becomes tight or restricted, it contributes to the persistent pain and stiffness experienced daily.
How Myofascial Release Helps Fibromyalgia
Myofascial release therapy is a hands-on technique that relieves restrictions in the fascia. By gently stretching and loosening connective tissue, circulation improves, nerve pressure decreases, and pain signals are reduced. Benefits include:
- Reduced muscle pain and tension
- Improved mobility and flexibility
- Decreased sensitivity at tender points
- Better sleep and relaxation
- Lower stress and anxiety
Neuromuscular Therapy: Targeting the Root of Pain
Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) enhances myofascial release by addressing trigger points, muscle imbalances, and nerve entrapments. Through precise, corrective pressure, NMT helps reset dysfunctional pain patterns. Benefits include:
- Relief from chronic muscle spasms
- Reduced nerve irritation
- Improved posture and alignment
- Better movement and coordination
- Long-term pain management without heavy medications
Why Combining Myofascial Release with Neuromuscular Therapy Works
The combination of these therapies is powerful for fibromyalgia because it addresses both surface fascia restrictions and deep neuromuscular dysfunctions. This dual approach not only relieves pain but also helps retrain the body to move more efficiently, reducing flare-ups and supporting long-term wellness.
Patient Benefits and Success Stories
Many fibromyalgia patients who have tried these therapies report significant improvements, including less morning stiffness, improved mobility, and decreased reliance on medications. While fibromyalgia has no cure, myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy offer natural, effective relief that supports an active lifestyle.
Final Thoughts: A Natural Path to Relief
If you or a loved one is living with fibromyalgia, consider myofascial release therapy and neuromuscular therapy as holistic, non-invasive options. By addressing both fascia restrictions and muscle imbalances, these therapies offer hope for better function, reduced discomfort, and a more vibrant life.
