Description
People often develop habits that produce abnormal strain on the neuromuscular system, resulting in tight bands of abnormal muscle contraction known as trigger points (TPs). These TPs contribute to neck pain, headaches, back pain, and even functional disability. The cause of TPs is often overlooked or simply not addressed. If addressed, many use compression only to find they return shortly after the session. Discover a superior management strategy by examination of the physiology of trigger points and the significance in the neuromotor system. Arm yourself with a variety of techniques for successful clinical outcomes and happy patients!
