*********************************************************************
Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy is an “OnPoint” Massage that targets the trigger points and releases them.******* It is a technique that was developed by Drs. Janet Travell & David Simons in the 1950s and 1960s. Dr. Janet Travell first coined the term Myofascial Trigger Point in writing in 1942.
****************************************************************
Drs. Janet Travell & David Simons (1993) described a trigger point as, "A highly irritable localized spot of exquisite tenderness in a nodule in a palpable taut band of (skeletal) muscle."
*****************************************************************
These highly irritable localized spots can range in size, from a tiny pellet, to a pea or even a large lump. They can be felt, embedded within the muscle fibres, by therapists who have developed a keen sense of touch. When active trigger points are palpated, they produce pain and the usual ‘jump sign.’ If they
are tender to pressure they may well be 'trigger points'. Pain or symptoms may be directly due to active trigger points, or pain may 'build up' over time from latent or inactive trigger points.
****************************************************************
Through observation of many of their patients with chronic pain conditions, Drs. Travell and Simons noticed that these areas of muscle tension could refer pain to other parts of the body. They began extensive work in mapping out the trigger points in each muscle throughout the body and their corresponding referral zones.
Then in 1983 their work was published in “Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manuel.“
This manual and updated editions have become the main training manual for therapists and referred to by therapists as “the red book.”

After you schedule, you will receive an email with your Intake Forms that will help me to prepare for your appointment. Please take the time to ***fill this out before you arrive*** and then we can skip the questions and have more time to focus on you.
****************************************************************
When you come to OnPoint Massage, your appointment will begin with an assessment of your Symptoms and areas of Pain Referral, Postural assessment and Range of Motion. The Trigger Point Massage will then take you to a deep state of relaxation with focus on thoroughly releasing 2-3 main target areas. Every treatment is individualized to meet the needs of the client.
**************************************************************
Trigger Point Therapy and Massage in general will result in metabolic waste and toxins being released into the blood stream. It is very important to drink plenty of water after your massage.
****************************************************************
If your appointment includes stretching, please bring proper clothing for stretching - ex. biking shorts or yoga pants and a sleeveless t-shirt or sports top.
