Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy
Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy is a non-invasive
program for the release and control of acute and chronic pain, and limited range of motion caused by myofascial trigger points.
Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists do not use drugs or injections, but a variety of skills including active/passive stretch, stretch-and-spray, and manual
techniques.
This therapy was developed by Janet Travell, MD and David Simons, MD in the late 1960's.
It effectively interrupts the pain-spasm-pain cycle by
inactivating trigger points in muscles.
