NeuroMuscular Massage
What is it ?
Neuromuscular Massage therapy is a mix of Neuroplasticity brain training combined with deep tissue massage, trigger point release, energy work, myofascial release, muscle protection release and physiotherapy. You will be provided exercises and stretches as needed.
Dan has developed these skills over the past 25 years, through a combination of being a world-class professional snowboarder working with sports massage therapy, physiotherapy and chiropractors. Along with his formal education and training in Neuroplasticity, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Reiki, Panic Healing and Traditional Chinese Medicine to heal his sports injuries as fast as possible, while also giving treatments to fellow athletes and friends.

Kinesiologist
Acupuncturists
Sports Massage Therapists
Remedial Massage Therapists
Myofascial Massage Therapists

But are still in pain or getting worse and don’t know why?
How does NeuroMuscular Massage compare to other common massage types?
Comparison 1
Usually doing a regular massage (remedial, sports, Swedish etc.) “feels” nice and relaxing. However, after some time your muscle spasm, and thus pain creeps back in full force because the underlying issues has not been resolved. This differs from stopping what causes those spasms which are controlled from the brain, not the body. NeuroMuscular massage changes the brain networks that creates muscles spasms, thus resolving the associated pain.
Comparison 2
Neuromuscular massage is “active” opposed to the typical “passive” massage where you lay down and zone out. The NeuroMuscular massage is active in two ways. First, Dan will apply movement to your affected area as he works on those attached muscles. Second, you work on your brain-rewiring neuroplasticity techniques while he applies hands-on myofascial muscle massage. While Dan removes pain in one area, he will receive feedback from you to where the pain has repositioned itself in your body. We do this process again until none of the pain spasms come back.
Conversely, with regular static massage (sports, remedial, Swedish, deep tissue etc) you lay down on your stomach or back as you are massaged in a static position, while you slowly pass out. You are not mentally active and unwinding the pain or muscle spasm that is formed in the brain.
Comparison 3
Before the hands on work starts a medical assessment of your condition and your history is shared. If you have not had a Neuroplasticity Training session,then you will learn the short version of neuroplasticity mental techniques to apply while I do hands on massage work to wind down your muscle and myofascial protection system.
Comparison 4
I will prescribe functional stretches and functional exercises with Neuroplasticity techniques specific to your work and home life, that is based on your injury or ailment. Your homework is designed so you can continue to wind down your pain, so you don’t have to come back every week like regular massage to re-occurring muscle spasms.
Comparison 5
