Is deep tissue work considered neuromuscular therapy?

Deep tissue work is often considered a component of neuromuscular therapy, as both approaches focus on addressing muscle tension and pain. However, neuromuscular therapy specifically targets trigger points and the nervous system's role in muscular dysfunction, using precise techniques to restore balance. While deep tissue massage can alleviate muscle tightness, it may not always incorporate the specialized methods used in neuromuscular therapy. Thus, while related, they are not synonymous.
