TRIGGER POINTS: TORSO

When muscle tissue is damaged, movement and use of the muscle may be uncomfortable, and themusclemay feel tender. Damage tomuscles can be caused by external or internal factors, including strain, overuse, emotional distress, poor nutrition, poor posture, exposure to cold temperatures, lack of regular exercise, and trauma. Themuscle fibers respond by contracting and twisting,making the area feel like a hard lump, or a firmness that is tender to the touch.This lump is called a triggerpoint.Pressingon the area triggerspain either at that location or somewhere else.
