Trigger point identification example on the upper trapezius . These may present as
1. Palpable tight muscle fibers.
2. Hypersensitive spots
3. Local twitch response as shown in the above video

Trigger points may

1. Prevent full lengthening of the muscle and restricted range of motion
2. Cause inhibition weakness of the muscle.

Trigger points of the upper trapezius can show pain referral patterns on the back of the neck, behind the ear and into the temporal area .

Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is a precise, thorough examination and treatment of the body’s soft tissues using regionally oriented protocols and techniques which are built upon a science-based foundation and guided by clinical evidence.

NMT is highly effective for clients who present with chronic pain and is often successful in reducing or eliminating even longstanding painful conditions. Some of the techniques can also be applied to acute injuries and for post-surgical care; many help to improve performance in sport or dance and to prevent injuries due to these activities.

NMT assessments and examinations primarily address

myofascial trigger points (hypersensitive points within muscles that give rise to referred phenomena, including pain)

neural entrapment (pressure on nerves by muscles and other soft tissues), and nerve compression (pressure on nerves by osseous and other bonelike tissues, such as cartilage or discs)

postural assessment (assessment of the position of the body as a whole)

dysfunctional gait patterns (manner of movement when walking)

There is constant consideration for many other perpetuating factors, such as hydration, nutrition, breathing patterns, and psychologic stress.

Hydrotherapy here at perfect therapy is a very effective treatment for the relief of pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions, joint/ muscle pain and other conditions such as fibromyalgia, muscle atrophy, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, neuralgia, amputation , cerebral palsy, brain stroke, poor circulation and insomnia.

Great as a stand alone treatment or when combined with Neuromuscular Therapy.
