Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy 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, massage, passive stretching, and corrective posturing. Success may be measured subjectively by the level of pain reduction experienced by the client and objectively through an increased range of motion, strength, endurance, and other measures of improved function.
The therapy encourages the client to be personally responsible for their improvement, with attention to such factors as nutritional intake, stress, proper exercises, mechanical abnormalities, hydration, and sleep.
The Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) website presents more than 350 modalities of massage and bodywork within ‘The Glossary of Massage and Bodywork Techniques’ on the client-education site Massagetherapy.com, where listed and defined are all types of massage and bodywork.
