Myofascial Trigger Points
Artwork shows clear locations of the front/back Myofascial Trigger Points (MTPs), which are localised areas of tightness in skeletal muscles that can lead to pain and dysfunction. Treatment of MTPs often involves a combination of manual therapy techniques such as trigger point release, stretching, and strengthening exercises, as well as modalities like heat or cold therapy and ultrasound. Additionally, addressing underlying factors such as posture, stress, and repetitive movements can help prevent the recurrence of trigger points.
