Janet Travell, MD is a famous author and physician whom is knowledgeable on the benefits of trigger point therapy, and myofascial release techniques. These home techniques can be done quite easily and the benefits of trigger point therapy are too numerous to mention. Some are, increase in blood flow to the injured muscle; better joint motion; decrease in the often highly chronic painful syndromes associated with radicular pain syndromes and myofascial pain. With the use of a trigger point therapy device, we attempt to move blood throughout the injured muscle. This moves metabolites out of the injured muscle, and improves range of motion and function of the muscle. Pain reduction is often immediate, and often worth the discomfort of the actual trigger point therapy treatment. Deep breathing is necessary to force new oxygen throughout the injured muscle in attempt to re-establish normal muscular metabolism once the muscle is void of trigger points.
A trigger point is a local muscular spasm of one or more individual muscle fibers or bundles. This occurs usually withing the greater muscle mass of the particular site. Blood cannot flow normally thru the area of muscle that contains the trigger point, and lactic acid and other metabolites are forced to remain inside the belly of the muscle often irritating not only the muscular tissue, but surrounding nerves.
The knobble is a terrific tool for removing trigger points by myofascial release technique aka deep tissue massage. |
