Trigger-point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a soft-tissue treatment that helps release tense, painful knots in your muscles and fascia (web of connective tissue).
Components of trigger point therapy may include sustained pressure, posture and movement correction, electrical stimulation, accupressure, needling and massage. Medical conditions where trigger point therapy may be applied include:
Myofascial pain syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Tension headaches and migraines, Temperomandibular joint disorder, Lumbago, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis elbow, Golfers elbow and Postural Imbalances.
Myofascial Mobilization
Myofascial tissue is a network of tissue that spreads into multiple layers throughout your entire body. It connects your muscles, joints, bones, and even reaches into your extracellular matrix. It also provides support to your organs, helping to keep them in place.
Myofascial mobilization aims to improve the overall function of all metabolic processes by releasing restrictions within the fascial system and by addressing muscular imbalances that may limit movement. Medical conditions where this technique may be applied include:
Restricted joint mobility, Musculoskeletal injuries, Scar tissue and adhesion, Postural Imbalances and more.
