FAQs

1. What is the difference between Neuromuscular Therapy and Physiotherapy ?

Physiotherapy is a broad based health care profession that has a special focus on acute musculoskeletal care of the physically active and also deals with a number of diverse medical fields, including oncology, obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, rheumatology, respiratory and neurological illnesses and burn injury. Neuromuscular Physical Therapy offers a special focus on chronic pain and injury including musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity but, unlike Physiotherapy, Neuromuscular Physical Therapy has a focus on the pathophysiology, aetiology and treatment of Myofascial Trigger Points. Such specialisation allows students of Neuromuscular Physical Therapy to examine these areas in much greater detail than a student of physiotherapy.

2. What are the differences between a Neuromuscular Therapist and other physical such as Osteopaths or Chiropractors ?

Practitioners of every stripe will have their own specific focus and a specific model for the treatment of pain and injuries, acute or chronic. Osteopaths will have a focus on osteopathic principals and will offer, similar to a chiropractor, treatments such as high velocity thrusts. The Neuromuscular Therapist will utilise a sound knowledge of human anatomy (our director of studies is himself a gross anatomist) as a solid foundation for understanding pain with a special focus on chronic long standing injuries.
