Myofascial trigger point therapy is a comprehensive rehabilitative manual therapy treatment approach designed to treat myofascial pain, which addresses postural distortions and movement dysfunction within the muscle (myo), and connective tissues (fascia) within the body.

After conducting a thorough patient history, pain patterns are charted, movement assessments are performed, and structural assessments are conducted. Restrictions and dysfunction within the connective tissue are treated, in order to restore optimal neurological function and tissue hydration to the superficial & deep fascia layers, ligaments, joint capsules, as well as scar tissue.

Myofascial trigger points are released utilizing compression on the trigger point during static, passive or active movement. Other forms of mechanoreceptor sensory input are effectively incorporated into the treatment, such as shear stretch, vibration, percussion, light touch, and more. Vapocoolant spray & stretch, muscle energy techniques, strain/counterstrain, and positional release, combined with passive, active and PNF stretches help to encourage the joints to return to their correct position, and the soft tissues to return to their normal resting length and function. Precipitating and perpetuating factors are addressed, and appropriate corrective home exercises are recommended.

Since this form of treatment requires movement during evaluation and treatment, it's recommended that you wear clothing you can stretch and move in, such as athletic shorts, tank top or sports bra. Please, no restrictive, thick or denim clothing!

PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL NOT TREAT ANYONE FOR A WORKERS COMP CLAIM, MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT CLAIM OR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM.
