Trigger Point Therapy/Neuromuscular Massage
Trigger points are tiny contraction knots present in overworked or traumatized muscles. Trigger points typically refer pain; that is, they usually send their pain to some other site. This is why muscular pain can sometimes be so frustrating and hard to get rid of. Conventional treatments for pain often fail because they focus on the site of the pain while overlooking and failing to treat the cause, the myofascial trigger points that may be some distance away.
Trigger Point or Neuromuscular Therapy is the application of static pressure on specific myofascial points to relieve pain. The technique involves manipulating the soft tissue of the body (muscles, tendons and connective tissue) to balance the central nervous system. In a healthy individual, nerves transmit impulses (which are responsible for every movement, function and thought) to the body very slowly. Injury, trauma, postural distortion or stress can cause nerves to speed up their transmission, thereby inhibiting equilibrium and making the body vulnerable to pain and dysfunction. Trigger Point Therapy uses static pressure to stabilize neurological activity so your nervous system can return to normal function and overall health.
