A new approach to relieving pain and restoring function

What is RPM?

RPM stands for Rehabilitation and Pain Management, and is more than just the name of the clinic. It is the method of bodywork (developed by Jim Moretz PhD, LMBT) used by our therapists to relieve the pain of our clients. This new therapeutic approach to acute and chronic pain combines embodied cognitive science with current neuromuscular massage therapy to provide a sensorimotor experience that integrates your musculoskeletal sensations into a singular feeling. RPM Functional Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is designed to create measurable pain-relief in 4 to 6 weeks.

What is a Neuromuscular Massage?

Neuromuscular massage therapy is a form of soft tissue manipulation used to alleviate chronic muscle and nervous system disorders / issues. Anyone can experience sore muscles occasionally. A general massage can be beneficial when exertion from exercise or work result in common aches and pains. But when muscular pain is more serious or continues for a length of time, utilizing a different approach may be necessary. This is where Neuromuscular Massage Therapy comes in.

The American Academy of Pain Management acknowledges Neuromuscular Massage (also known as trigger point myotherapy ) as an efficient way to treat pain caused by soft tissue injury. The word ‘neuro’ for nerve-related and the word ‘muscular’ for pertaining to muscles, incorporates both of these systems in the term, neuromuscular massage.
