Trigger Point Myotherapy is a therapeutic discipline and technique used for the relief of myofascial (myo=muscle: fascial=connective tissue) pain and dysfunction. It is a modality resulting from the lifelong medical careers of Drs. Janet Travell and David Simons. Trigger Point Myotherapy is recognized by the American Academy of Pain Management as a modality for the treatment of myofascial pain and dysfunction.
The goal of myotherapy treatment is the recovery from or a significant reduction in, myofascial pain. This goal is achieved through a systematized and comprehensive approach using a variety of soft tissue manipulation techniques.
Most patients with myofascial pain and dysfunction see excellent results in the return of mobility, function, and reduction of pain after treatment. Those patients with acute conditions due to accidents, or sports and repetitive motion injuries see dramatic results and quick return to their normal daily and professional activities.
