Best Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage in Los Angeles: Myofascial Pain: A Sticky Subject
The term ‘myofascial pain’ is fairly common (and getting more so) but not that many people have a clear idea of what it means. Here’s what it means: the ‘fascia’ are like envelopes of slick tissue that surround almost every part of our internal body. Imagine the thin, clear layer you can often find in top of a skinless chicken breast. ‘Myofascia’ means ‘fascia around your muscles’ — so ‘myofascial pain’ is ‘pain caused by a problem with the tissues that envelop your muscles.’ This happens most often when small tears in the myofascia cause them to adhere to nearby other tissues. Massage or other forms of directed pressure can release the adherence and thus allow the myofascia to return to their proper place, as well as directly releasing the trigger points at the source of pain. If you want to get lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and more, then call and book neuromuscular massage today!
