How can NMT help
Neuro Muscular Transmission (NMT) is a gentle and non-invasive treatment. It is suitable for all age groups from babies to the elderly and infirm including the chronically and terminally ill. In addition to helping depression, bereavement, stress, fear, anxiety, anger and relationship problems, it can also help musculo-skeletal pain as a result of sport or impact injuries neck, shoulder or back pain resulting from accident or injury:
- Restricted mobility
- Sciatica
- Frozen shoulders
- Sinus problems
- Visual disturbances
- IBS
- Arthritic conditions
- Back pain
- Headache
- Hearing impairment
- Vertigo
- Digestive disorders
- Infertility problems
These are the most common list of conditions, however, there are a lot more that NMT can support. Please talk to me if you would like to discuss whether this may be the right support for you.
Each treatment lasts 45-60 mins although the first one may be slightly longer. You will remain clothed throughout, only footwear need be removed if possible. Your body and mind won’t release more than you can cope with so you will be in control the whole time. If you need support with something too traumatic to talk much about, this is fine, I don’t need words during the session to help you. If discomfort means no contact, I can work without contact. I work intuitively to guide and support you. These treatments work well alongside and complement other therapies and support you may be receiving.
NMT and Reiki help you to relax and let go of stresses and strains from the body and mind, allowing discreet realignment to take place, promoting calmness and more freedom to deal with life’s upheavals.
A few things NMT and Reiki can help with: Arthritic Problems, Back/Neck/Shoulder Pain, Confidence Building, Digestive Disorders inc. IBS, Emotional Conditions, Fatigue of various kinds, General Relaxation, General Aches & Pains, Headaches & Migraines, Impact Injuries, Joint Injuries, Muscular problems, Repetitive Strain, Restricted Mobility, Sciatica & Trapped Nerves, Soft Tissue Injuries, Tendon Injuries & Ligament Strain, Whiplash.
When I work with you although you may arrive with a name describing an illness, I will work with the symptoms you present as this in turn will treat your body and mind as a whole, to improve your well-bing on many levels. The ‘label’ is a starting point to your recovery.

Neuro Muscular Transmission (NMT) is a simple technique using gentle touch or no direct contact. It is a process of reprogramming designed to bring about fundamental change on a physical, emotional and psychological level. The aim of the treatment is to restore the mind and body as far as possible to its original state by accessing the internal communication systems. The NMT practitioner acts as a facilitator in this process.
The first consultation prior to any treatment will determine the approach taken, physical or emotional. You remain clothed throughout in a comfortable position lying, sitting, even standing. Your therapist is guided intuitively to lay hands on your body. This may be confusing for it may not always correspond to the site of your pain! Your brain registers the contact through the nervous system and a process of reprogramming begins.
The treatment may include the whole body or specific areas. No two treatments are ever the same. If no change occurs - no matter how small - within 2 to 3 treatments, your therapist will explore other options with you.
During the session you may feel:
- very relaxed, even drift off to sleep
- tenderness in certain areas
- soft tissue moving although there is little to see on the surface
- a sensation of air and water flowing through the body
The experiences are many and varied and it is useful to talk to your therapist about what you are feeling during the session.
Sessions are up to one hour in length and time between to allow your body to adjust, extending further apart once the basic problem is resolved. The number of treatments required will be determined by the length of time the problem has been there and the lifestyle of the client. Generally speaking, it is not long term work although sometimes regular maintenance is beneficial.
What people say
Vision
Lorraine Boon approached me to be a case study for her NMT with a particular interest in Vision. I was delighted to assist Lorraine and received a number of NMT treatments from her.
I was amazed by her abilities and medical knowledge. We discussed a number of issues I was carrying from my past and Lorraine was a fantastic listener and offered many explanations and gave some valuable advice. SHe was always calm, friendly and professional with her work. I always left her treatment room feeling elevated, even if we had discussed something that had brought a tear in my eye.
There was also an occasion where my back was playing up and I knew if I wasn't careful it would turn into a few months of sciatic pain down my leg (as i had experienced a couple of times in the past)- Lorraine soon had it sorted and the pain was gone within a couple of weeks.
What a fantastic experience. I learned so much more about myself and my outlook on life has vastly improved. To me, one of the most important things Lorraine taught me was to realise 'You are not alone'.
Thanks very much Lorraine
Anxiety & Fatigue
When I was diagnosed with anxiety and chronic fatigue I had no where to turn due to no suitable NHS services being available to me to ease the fatigue. I turned to Lorraine who gave me NMT sessions. I went from being unable to leave the house (Lorraine came to my home to begin with) to being able to drive to her therapy room. I had weekly sessions to begin with and then monthly and then just needed top ups.
Short term, NMT gave me the confidence that my body was healing and long term my body did heal.
Life before NMT was unbearable. Chronic anxiety and fatigue made my life change dramatically. I couldn’t do anything. Leave my house was a horrendous task and I couldn’t do it more often than not.
Life now, although fatigue and anxiety continues, has improved due to treatment with Lorraine which I will be forever thankful for as I had nowhere to turn.
