TrP Massage
What is Clinical Trigger Point (TrP) Massage?
Clinical TrP massage works specifically with myofascial trigger points. Using the knowledge of functional anatomy, palpating and thus detecting trigger points are one of the most reliable and effective ways for deactivating trigger points. Clinical TrP Massage addresses pain and injury complaints by making a detailed assessment of musculoskeletal conditions and treatment protocols based on client’s information.
What are trigger points?
According to Travell & Simons research, 75% of the time, the primary cause of muscle/skeletal pain is due to trigger points. Many patients have distressing ubiquitous muscle aches and pains that are overlooked and misunderstood. Trigger points have predictable pain patterns.
Your pain maybe coming from irritable trigger points in your muscles. As illustrated the red highlighted area is where it hurts and the referral zones. The black X’s typically are the muscles associated with that particular pain pattern and muscle.
