Description

Myofascial trigger points are a common feature of nearly all muscle pain syndromes and are often misdiagnosed and/or under-diagnosed. They are characterized by persistent local and referred pain, loss of function and movement impairments. Treatment may include manual therapy techniques, dry needling/injections, correcting biomechanical and postural dysfunction, and restoring normal movement patterns. This webinar is designed to introduce the therapist to dry needling, peripheral and central sensitization, the milieu of the trigger point and the current legislation.
