Myofascial pain syndrome

What is myofascial pain syndrome?

Myofascial pain syndrome is a condition in which sensitive spots in muscle, called trigger points, cause local pain and pain referred to other areas. Pressing a trigger point often reproduces a familiar ache. It is common in the neck, shoulders, back and hips.

The Fascia involved

Trigger points and the Fascia around them

Trigger points sit within taut bands of muscle wrapped in Fascia. Treating the trigger point alone often gives short relief. Releasing the Fascia of the whole line reduces the tension that keeps the trigger point active.

Session

Your session for myofascial pain syndrome

James maps the trigger points and the lines they sit on. Treatment combines sustained pressure on trigger points with slow release of the surrounding Fascia, then the whole line is treated.

Between sessions

Managing trigger points between sessions

Gentle sustained pressure with a ball against a wall, held for 60 to 90 seconds on a tender spot until it eases, can quieten an active trigger point. Follow it with a slow stretch of the same muscle. Warmth helps, and so does changing position before a muscle has been held still for too long.

Stress and poor sleep tend to make trigger points more active, so recovery time counts as treatment too.
