Get To The Point; The Root Cause of Pain

Trained practitioners do not treat where it hurts necessarily. Trigger Points (TrPs), when left untreated, can cause pain and can lead to reduced range of motion, reduced speed and power, and can also lead to impaired performance for the athlete and exerciser. Knowing how to eliminate these TrPs from the muscles can make the difference in being able to get the athlete back on the field and into the game, and the everyday exerciser back into their desired activities, pain free.
