Therapeutic Massage for Myofascial Pain.
Pain and physiological dysfunctions start at specific points within muscles and their connective tissues. These are referred to as trigger points as they tend to trigger further muscle reactions.
Researchers have recorded a comprehensive map system of myofascial trigger points and been able to identify impairment associated. The most frequent dysfunctions are,
carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ dysfunction, PMS, headache, diarrhea, dizziness, cardiac arrhythmia, indigestion, tennis elbow, to mention just a few.
Fascia Dysfunction.
Fascia covers the entire body in large connected sheets. These can be twisted out of shape when imposed with injury, misalignment, or chemical imbalance. To promote good health, the fascial layers and the blood vessels and nerves which follow them must be in the right conditions.
Neuromuscular Dysfunction.
The movements of the body require nerve impulses directed to muscles. It directly involves the adjoining and opposing muscles. It s conducted accomplished when the actions of these functions break down; muscle fibers and blocked tissues.
Tonus System Dysfunction.
Overused muscles lose their ability to relax. Consequently, they tighten and affect opposing muscles, and on the joints, they cross.
Dermatomic Dysfunction.
When nerves are pinched along the nerve path, the pain will disturb the region they support.
Spondylogenic Dysfunction.
When vertebrae of the spine are subluxated, the pain will occur in that specific area.
