Trigger Point Workshops
Purpose:
The purpose of these workshops are to give you greater understanding of myofascial trigger points, how the pain from these points are transferred to other parts of your body called referred pain, how to recognize the symptoms of active trigger point pain, and how to self treat the trigger point to relieve the pain.
Goals:
The goal is to give you the tools to recognize the muscles that cause the pain that you experience, perform self treatment on the active trigger point that is causing the referred pain, and thus control your pain management. Referred pain is commonly found in the ears, eyes, tongue, throat, jaw, temple, cheek, forehead, crown of head, back of head, back of neck, sinus, and side of neck, and is caused by trigger points found in the Sternocleidomastoid, Temporalis, Suboccipital and Trapezius muscles.
Achievements:
At the end of this workshop you will be able to recognize the muscles that cause the majority of headaches. You will learn how to recognize the many factors that can perpetuate trigger points in these muscles such as diet, work, exercise and postural abnormalities, hypothyroidism, stress and changes in hormone levels. You will be able to locate the trigger points in these muscles and perform subsequent treatment to eliminate the referred pain. Recognizing the relationship between the referred pain and the trigger point and performing the necessary treatment to alleviate this pain will allow you to control your pain management in the future.
I will be doing 2 - 3 hour self help work shops. These will be aimed at those who wish to learn how to help themselves and their loved ones get rid of horrible myofascial pain.
