Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage in Manhattan Beach: Cross-Country Study Shows Trigger Points Are Consistent
Trigger points are new enough to the medical field that few people are seriously studying them, but some groups are making attempts. In this case, a group of scientists from England, Switzerland, and Italy got together and attempted to map the trigger point of the trapezius muscle onto a known medical phenomenon: the “innervation zone,” the spot where the muscle’s primary activating neuron enters the muscle and branches out. They failed — the two don’t match up at all — but along the way they measured the trigger points of more than 70 people’s trapezius muscles and found that the trigger point location was remarkably consistent. “[Trigger points] in the upper trapezius appear to have a stereotyped location,” the study blandly reported.
