All trigger points cause discomfort when pressed; however, "active" trigger points frequently refer pain to other areas of the body. As a result, many practitioners address the site of the pain, or the symptoms of trigger points, rather than the real problem area, or the site of the trigger point. Unlike most soft-tissue discomfort, pressure on an active trigger point will refer the sensation or symptoms to a distinct and predictable target area. Aside from pain, the symptoms of an active trigger point include: · numbness A single trigger point frequently refers pain to reference sites, giving rising to satellite, or secondary trigger points. If not addressed, chronic conditions tend to get worse over time. (60, and 90 min) Myofascial Release- Myofascial Release is an extremely mild and gentle form of bodywork that has a profound effect upon the tissues of the body, particularly the fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue which connects and surrounds everything in the body from head to toe, 3-dimensionally and without interruption; in other words it's seamless. The fascia surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel, and organ of the body, all the way down to the micro-cellular level. Therefore, damage to this fascial system or malfunction of this system due to trauma, improper posture, or inflammation can create a binding down effect which results in abnormal pressure on nerves, muscles, bones, and organs. This can create chronic/acute pain or malfunction throughout the body, with often-related side effects and seemingly unrelated symptoms throughout the body. Myofascial Release releases this pressure and returns the individual to his or her full pain-free capacity. Symptoms often relieved by Myofascial Release include TMJ, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic/Acute pain, Pelvic/Thoracic/Cervical rotation, Plantar Fasciitis, Rotator Cuff injury, Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel, lower extremity pain. 60, and 90 min) Physical Benefits of Therapeutic Massage- * Helps relieve stress
