Trigger Point Therapy in Fairview, NC
Trigger Point is a complimentary self correcting method that concentrates on knots of muscle that have become tangled and dysfunctional due to overuse. Trigger points will often refer pain to a part of the body other than the area of the knot.
If you have pain in the front of your shoulder, it is often due to a trigger point referring pain from a muscle in your scapula, behind your shoulder.
Large areas of trigger points may be released with Myofascial Release, or they may require additional, firmer pressure.
