Hello Jillybutt,

For the treatment of the "so called" trigger points, in my experience the problem is not in the muscle per se , but is being caused by another problem ie- neural , postural , or joint. Your job is to find out what the source of the problem is and that will resolve it the most effectively. Have long ago stopped trying to "massage out" or use ischemic pressure as these in my experience usually provide only transiet relief of the so called "trigger point". Muscle biopsies have not shown any abnormality in the muscle itself, so just treating the muscle is unlikely to help in the long term.

Good luck on your new career......Thomas
