Active Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy

[ginger]

Agree with Bravacosta and Kieren, dealing with "trigger points " will provide only short term relief from altered patterns of recruitment of muscle , and elements of referred pain associated with hypertonicity. Long term solutions will be provided by appropriate mobilisation to the relevant spinal facet joints. By freeing these joints from protective responses leading to inflammatory events of joint and nerve . There are lots of compelling ways to waste time, trigger point therapies are just another. I'd put it right up there with cupping.

Wow, just wow. You are binning the works of some of the top therapists on the planet with that comment. Around 600 of my clients say quite the opposite. I have completely mended people with Myofascial techniques alone, and they have gone onto to enjoy a life free of pain (long term)
