Q

What is the PROTOCOL for NMT technique

A

ASSESS - Evaluate what they are saying and how they are walking and holding themselves (posture)GENERAL GLIDE - warm up the muscle region with effleurage SPECIFIC GLIDE - STATIC PRESSURE / TRIGGER POINT RELEASE - use the “wave” to SLOWLY stretch the myofascial tissue until you find a point of pain then use STATIC PRESSURE and a pain scale until you reach 7Ask if you can use more pressure?Have the client BREATH deep for 10-12 seconds. Re-evaluate pain scaleTreat twice
