Overview
Pressure on sensitive points in the muscle may result in pain. Myofascial pain syndrome can occur after repeated injury or overuse of muscles. Sometimes it manifests a tender muscle knot and pain can be persistent.
A focus of treatment is the release of muscle tightness for symptoms of decrease in flexibility, soft tissue dysfunction in any part of the body. Conditions such as muscle dysfunction from injuries, fibromyalgia, and migraines, etc. may benefit from treatment. Myofascial release may be followed by trigger point injections to provide additional benefit.
