The Healing Power of Neuromuscular Therapy at The Massage Garage

On February 7, 2025, I lost my mother, and with that loss, I felt a profound shift in my body, mind, and spirit. Grief isn’t just emotional—it impacts us physically and mentally. The compression I felt didn’t only affect my heart but also took a toll on my muscles, brain, and energy.

Physical Impact: Muscles Under Pressure
Grief caused deep tension in my body, particularly in my shoulders, neck, and back. This tension led to chronic discomfort, headaches, and physical fatigue. My body seemed to carry the weight of my grief, making even simple movements difficult.

Mental Strain: The Toll on the Brain
The emotional strain of grief left me mentally foggy, with difficulty focusing, remembering, or completing tasks. My brain felt overwhelmed, and my usual sense of motivation disappeared, making everyday life feel heavy and exhausting.

The Spirit’s Burden: Emotional Compression
Grief also weighed down my spirit, leaving me feeling disconnected and directionless. The loss drained my energy and made it hard to embrace life, not just with sadness but with a sense of emotional and physical compression.

How Neuromuscular Therapy Helps
In my healing process, I turned to neuromuscular therapy (NMT) at The Massage Garage in San Francisco. NMT helped release the deep tension in my muscles, especially in my neck and back, which had become physical manifestations of my grief. The therapy also restored mental clarity and emotional balance, allowing me to reconnect with myself and find peace.

Conclusion: Embracing Healing After Loss
Losing my mother changed me, but through neuromuscular therapy, I’ve started to heal. The therapy has helped me release emotional weight, restore my body and mind, and regain energy and focus. If you’re struggling with grief’s physical and emotional toll, our body mechanics at The Massage Garage can provide NMT to help you heal and reconnect with what matters most.

Gary’s therapeutic massage techniques encompass the nervous system and muscular systems together. He isolates where the pain is coming from, and then uses several massage modalities to re-educate and realign the muscle fibers to go back to their normal position. He also retrains the nerve movements of the brain to actually get rid of the pain. Gary’s massage techniques are also a great complement to physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, and other healing systems.
