Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points, also known as myofascial trigger points or knots, are areas of hyper-irritability in the soft tissue structure. These can be acute sources of pain or latent, unnoticed by the client until pressure is applied by the practitioner. Trigger points are manifested as small contraction knots in the muscles and active ones may cause muscle spasm and referred pain.
Treatment consists of physical therapy, manipulation and stretching. A firm pressure is applied by the practitioner, using their hands or elbow, when they have located the specific points causing pain and restricted movement and these may often be located in places different to where the client actually feels the pain.
Other factors such as nutrition, stress and chronic illness are also considered, as potential contributors towards the problem. Conditions that will benefit from this modality include:
• Headaches
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• TMJ
• Neck and Jaw Pain
• Stress and Fatigue
Trigger Point therapy is also known as:
• Trigger Point Release
• Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy
• Trigger point Myotherapy
