How this site works
No — and that's the point. Kathryn is a neuromuscular massage therapist with 40+ years of clinical experience. Doctors typically have limited training in how muscles cause pain. Kathryn's entire career has focused on exactly that.
Those sites cover medical conditions broadly. This site focuses on muscle-related pain and what you can do yourself at home, drawn from decades of hands-on patient work.
For most common muscle pain, yes. Much of what Kathryn covers — trigger point work, stretching, specific nutrition and supplements, sleep position — are things you can do yourself today.
NMT targets trigger points — tight, tender spots in muscles that refer pain to other areas. This is why a neck problem shows up as a headache, or hip tension causes knee pain.
The site covers self-care techniques appropriate for most adults with everyday muscle pain. It isn't a substitute for medical care, and Kathryn is always clear about when to see a professional.
