Trigger Point System – Posterior

Description

Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots or knots within a muscle that can cause pain, discomfort, and limited mobility. Trigger points can develop due to various factors such as injury, overuse, or stress, and they can affect any muscle in the body, including the muscles of the back.

Posterior trigger points refer to those in the back muscles, including the trapezius, rhomboid, and erector spinal muscles. These trigger points can cause pain and stiffness in the upper back, shoulders, and neck and can also cause referred pain in other parts of the body.

Treating posterior trigger points involves a combination of manual pressure, massage, stretching, and exercise therapies. Trigger point therapy can help alleviate pain and discomfort, improve range of motion, and prevent the formation of new trigger points.
