Trigger Point Therapy

12 hours CEs

Trigger points are discrete, hyperirritable spots located in a band of muscle. They produce pain locally and in a referred pattern, and often accompany chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Acute trauma or repetitive microtrauma may lead to the development of stress on muscle fibers and the formation of trigger points. This course introduces Trigger Point Therapy to enable students to be familiar with the theory and practice of the technique, including its origin and key concepts. It includes a one-hour lecture and 11 hours of hands-on training and application.
