About

Trigger Point Release Therapy is a comprehensive program that includes inactivating trigger points by using a combination of compression (trigger point release pressure), stretch and moist heat. Therapeutic exercises, including both active and passive stretches bring the muscle back to its full normal length. Perpetuating factors ( things that cause trigger point formation) are also addressed. Since as much as 93% of pain people suffer from has a myofascial component, it is likely that you will have a decrease in pain and an increase in motion once treatment has started. Your response to muscle pain treatment may help your healthcare providers identify and treat any other underlying medical conditions that may be adding to your pain.
