Neuromuscular/ Massage Therapy These points can also refer pain to other areas of the body.

Neuromuscular Therapy is the application of certain amounts of pressure on Trigger points to help coax the body back into a state of homeostasis. These Trigger points are points of muscular dysfunction that hold pain, stress, toxins, and lactic acid, prohibiting proper blood flow and nerve innervation, decreasing range of motion, and causing pain in or around the area.

The scalene muscle group can cause several referral patterns that cause a number of problems.

I've been treating several new patients very effectively releasing these trigger points in their session.

I am happy to say I've been getting Excellent reports of complete healing without the issue returning. 💪😁🙌

One of them reported after her 2nd session that she was

"so extreme really relieved that the pain and burning sensation in her shoulder was gone."

and that she "did not need to make an appointment for an MRI and a possible surgery!"

She said she just couldn't believe it. Then went on to Thank me numerous times.

That's the best compliment in my opinion. I love my job. ❤

What is FASCIA & How Can it be Causing You pain or tightness?

We have muscle, bone, and skin but what holds us all together?

FASCIA.

Fascia is a webbing of connective tissue that holds our body together.

It wraps around each individual muscle fiber, coats the muscle as a whole, stretches out on each end to make up tendon, makes ligaments, the periosteum or covering of the bones, and hold our skin on to our muscles.

It is literally intertwined into part of our being.

It is supposed to be a gelatinous material, jelly, to allow for fluid movement and motion.

However, when it is dehydrated, misused, overused, underused, or has sustained trauma it can harden and then starts to turn into a glue-like substance.

As you can only imagine if you have glue in your body it will not be able to move in that area. So the area will lock down with tightness and pain and start to decrease range of motion (ROM).

This is when it starts to become a noticeable problem.

So it is very important to know that you have this connective tissue and that is important to release and stretch as well as the muscle fiber.

STRETCHING NOT WORKING FOR YOU?

You are not getting relief from stretching bc you are not holding your stretches long enough in order to remelt the Fascia.

You can do a Myofascial Release by holding a stretch and deep breathing for 90 to 120 seconds.

This will give you the Deep release and sigh of relief that you are looking for.

😁 Fun Facts about FASCIA:

The silver skin on meat is Fascia.

It is one of the strongest material known to man and cannot be replicated.

It has ten times the amount of sensory nerves than muscle fiber, so a majority of the time you will be feeling myofascial pain instead of muscular pain.

You can remelt Fascia and make it jelly again by doing myofascial release and Massage Therapy.

Hope this helps. HAPPY STRETCHING! 😁❤

The PSOAS Muscle is not very well known and is one of the Biggest causes of LBP (low back pain). When left untreated it can lead to severe muscular imbalance.

Since it sandwiches the spine and is the main hip flexor of the body it is an extremely important muscle to keep stretched out and strong.

When the Psoas gets tight it will do one of two things. It will either
1.) Pull the spine and rib cage down toward your hips
or
2.) Pull the hip up towards your rib cage.

In either case it causes pain that can be severe.

This pain will be felt in the abdomen close to the belly button. It can refer into the low back near your SI joint( sacroiliac joint). Also, down into the front of the thigh where the tendon attaches into the femur.

You can stretch this muscle to release trigger points and alleviate the pain but they may need to be addressed through massage therapy in order to fully release.

I will post stretches in the comments.

Who had had LBP? Do you know about the Psoas muscle? If so, What do you do to treat it?

This made me LOL this morning. Ha-ha! It makes me cringe for someone to call me a "masseuse". I am a Massage Therapist, a Neuromuscular Therapist. There is a HUGE difference between the 2. Education and morals are what set us apart.

PLEASE make sure that you are only getting treatment from an educated therapist with a licence. Your therapy will be more effective bc of the therapist's knowledge and you will be protected by the GA Board if, Lord forbid, a situation were to happen.

You can ask them to see it if it is not posted in their office where it is visible (which is required by law). Protect yourself people. 😃

I love it when my patients come into their appointment in excitement. Today I had a patient tell me that she rode her bike in her neighborhood for the first time in 3 years! It's one of her favorite things to do. So happy for her! 😁

We've been working on full body but focusing on legs, abdomen, and shoulders. She's been stretching and drinking more water in between our sessions. She says she's been feeling Amazing! This is why I do what I do. 💞

There are 4 major "slings" of the body we use to support ourselves and allow us to move around properly. These slings are made up of different muscle and fascia ( connective tissue) groups. They cross over the spine to help support one another or else we would waddle around like penguins.

It's extremely important for these slings to be in balance to avoid injury and have proper ROM (range of motion). I've had several patients tell me the after educating them on this topic, and treating the imbalances, they have been able to prevent injuries and are more aware of their core. Do you feel clumsy or are you "accident prone"? This may be because one of your major slings is out of balance. It can be corrected. Please feel free to contact me for any more information.

The SUBSCAPULARIS Muscle.

I have been treating the subscap more often lately, and with excellent results. The subscapularis muscle can cause a combination of problems and/or pain referral patterns. It is one of the main muscles that can cause frozen shoulder and will severely limit ROM.

Since it is located between the rib cage and shoulder blade it is rather difficult to address, but can be done by a highly skilled therapist. The trigger point can be shocking when pressure is applied, but the relief is amazing after pressure is released and the point let's go.

You may have issues with this muscle if you lift heavy, play sports ( especially football or baseball because of excessive throwing), are in the military, construction, sit at a desk for long periods of time on the computer, sleep on your side, etc.

The referral pattern of pain comes from the back of the shoulder down the tricep, into the elbow and forearm, and wraps around the wrist. Who has ever felt pain like this? Stretching will help but to get relief that lasts seek out a trained professional to address the trigger points and areas of muscular dysfunction.
