Trigger Point Therapy
Myofascial trigger points are clinically unambiguously identifiable, painful, pathological changes in skeletal muscles. These are tiny muscle fibers that permanently cramp and shorten. The most common cause of this is likely to be muscle overload or stress. In the trigger point, the supply of oxygen and nutrients is disturbed and it causes a permanent contraction which can rarely be eradicated without treatment. The discovered muscle trigger points are treated with dosed pressure. Due to the spontaneous, selective blood flow, a stimulus is set, which should lead to resolving of trigger points.
