Explore the hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle—sensitive points of tissue often associated with palpable nodules in taut muscle fibers and, when compressed, elicit referred pain, local tenderness or a twitch response. Master methods to quickly find and treat trigger points in your clients by identifying:
Common location of a trigger point in a particular muscle belly;
Possible causes of trigger points;
Symptoms and Indications;
Pain pattern associated trigger points; and
Differential diagnoses
Discover evidence-based trigger point therapies and implement principles and practices to maximize your client’s rehabilitation, recovery and performance.
