Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuromuscular therapy is a type of massage therapy that focuses on applying pressure to trigger points to alleviate pain and treat injuries. Myofascial release is a similar type of massage but focuses more on releasing tension in the fascia (connective tissue). Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to promote healing and relaxation. Osteopathic manipulative therapy is a hands-on technique used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose and treat various conditions. While all of these types of therapy may use soft-tissue manipulation, only neuromuscular therapy specifically focuses on trigger points to treat pain and injuries.
