Great Post by Patrick Ward regarding what the research has shown regarding TrPs and nervous system components.
I tend to find TrPs, but not treat them directly. I treat them indirectly by working on the mm imbalances with STM/IASTM and functional release, then correcting the posture and movements associated with the areas. Upon reassessment, the TrPs are often no longer there. If still there, but diminished, I try something less painful, like counterstrain, and then finally try to treat it directly. That is my approach when I find a TrP during physical assessment. What is yours?
