Trigger Point Massage
This form of deep massage is applied to
individual muscles.
-
Trigger point massage is a noninvasive therapeutic modality for the
relief and control of myofascial pain and dysfunction.
The goal of treatment
is the client’s recovery from or a significant reduction in myofascial pain.
The treatment goal is achieved through a systematized approach.
-
Treatment
consists of trigger point compression, the massage therapist's passive
stretching, and a regime of corrective exercises.
-
Success may be measured
subjectively by the level of pain reduction experienced by the client and
objectively through increased range of motion, strength, endurance, and
other measures of improved function.
-
Trigger point massage relies heavily on
client-therapist interaction, including verbal and nonverbal elements.
