In part I, I explained what a trigger point, MTP, is and how occur. Now, I want to explain:
How does the trigger point effect me?
Well, when your body experiences painful tight muscular areas, or mTPs, it will not operate like the efficient machine it was designed to be. An article, Latent myofascial trigger points: their effects on muscle activation and movement efficiency by Karen R. Lucasa, Barbara I. Polusa, Peter A. Rich, conducted a study on the effect on body movement. What they discovered as that mTPs caused individuals to move their bodies poorly. What happens to a body that moves poorly? Well, it's just like a machine that works poorly. If your cars tires are misaligned, what happens over time? Mechanical breakdown. Well, we are no different. If you body moves poorly, you will notice- weakness, fatigue and likely eventually pain and early breakdown. The study also demonstrated how trigger point dry needling actually restored the body's motion back to normalized motion by removing the offending trigger points.
To sum up, if you have enough trigger points in your body- for whatever reason, poor posture, overwork, stressful job or relationship causing increased muscular tension- your body will start to function inefficiently. And your body can begin to become "hard-wired" for pain. Definitely, not good.
The Travell Dry Needling that we offer has proven to remove trigger points and restore optimal health and function again. Next up- see Part III for the success rate that we can provide...
