Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy Session

Service Description

TP Therapy refers to the treatment of myofascial trigger points (MTrP) or 'trigger points' (TrP) that are found in muscles and fascia. Myofascial trigger points are an extremely common cause of pain. Trigger points are painful when pressed on, cause a shortening of the muscle fibers, and have a special property called referred pain. Referred pain means that a trigger point in one muscle can create pain in another area. This treatment session (approximately 60 mins.) will professionally use small TP roller devices to increase muscle blood flow and dorsiflexion, effectively increasing your range of motion - providing pain relief to your common symptoms.
