Description
Our muscles can contain tight spots characterized by increased tension, which we call trigger points. These points are often the source of pain, limited movement, and other troubles. Trigger points are painful spots in the muscles, formed by muscle fibers that are in permanent contraction. In such a contracted "clump" of fibers, metabolites accumulate, which then contribute to the onset of pain. Pain is meant to signal to us that "something" is not right. Trigger points are typically known for causing referred pain. For example, elbow or wrist pain is often caused by a trigger point in the shoulder muscles. And knee pain is often caused by trigger points in the thigh muscle. Pain in the heel can also be referred from the calf muscle, and there are many such examples. This book is a guide on the journey to recognizing these points with easy searches for specific troubles according to a visual index and using manual pressure to eliminate them.
