For neuro muscular physical therapy to be effective, patients must first be examined, treated, and trained in order to reduce their physical disability and symptoms like pain, muscle spasm, and contraction while also addressing structural and postural abnormalities related to the disease or injury they are experiencing. Physical therapists work to restore fitness and health to the highest possible level, locating and helping to release areas of tissue spasm, finding and minimizing trigger points that cause pain, and helping to restore postural alignment and flexibility specifically. As part of physical therapy, patients work to rehabilitate their physical function, rebuild the strength of injured tissue, and improve the flow of blood and lymph throughout their bodies. This promotes good health. Patients  and those with disabilities such as low back pain, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica, and scoliosis may benefit from neuro muscular physical therapy. Other patients who may benefit include those with multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy, as well as those with fractures and head and spinal injuries.
