Stewart Wild opened his first massage practice in Auckland, New Zealand in 1994. He began teaching Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) at NZCM in 1998, after studying with John Barerra and Leon Botello. NMT is a comprehensive hands-on therapy that addresses puzzling pain and dysfunction of soft-tissue origin.

In 2003 Stewart moved to the USA to further his knowledge and taught NMT for Judith DeLany from 2005-9.  He later certified as a CMTPT in 2009 with Myopain Seminars.  Stew was asked by owner Dr. Jan Dommerholt to design and teach a 100-hour program called ‘Manual Trigger Point Therapy (MTT). These workshops describe techniques for 170 palpable muscles and have been taught throughout the United States, Canada, Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

After closing his highly successful Massachusetts clinic in 2025, Stewart is now living in Christchurch. He continues to promote his online training platform, ‘NMT Plus’ (see www.nmtplus.com ), which comprises 38 videos showing effective trigger point therapy and neuromuscular therapy for all palpable muscles of the body.
