What is the definition of Trigger Points?

Comment by Valerie DeLaune, LAc on July 13, 2011 at 1:22am

Remember that the referral patterns that Travell & Simons mapped were only COMMON referral patterns (and trigger points).  Your patient may have UNCOMMON trigger points and referral patterns, particularly if there are multiple perpetuating factors, and the problem has been going on for a long time.

i think i am seeing a pattern.

i have seen more than a few clients complaining of tension and pain with trigger points in temporalis and the tissue anterior and superior to the ear that also have had cosmetic surgery (they call it a mini-lift) to reduce wrinkles around the eye. this procedure seems to be an initiating factor. anyone else see it?

my approach has been to release the related tissue, including auricularis anterior and superior, temporalis, and SCM. i feel what seems to be the scar and tissue that's been tucked under during the surgery.

anyone have any thoughts?

Dear colleagues,

I am happy to invite you to join my group:” Medical and Sports Massage” including FREE Medical and Sports massage lessons. Not alot of practitioners in the US are familiar with Russian Medical and Sports massage as it was proposed by a Russian physician professor of medicine Anatoly Sherback . I'm happy to offer you information about this methodology as well as some additional information about me. I hope that our friendship will be pleasant and mutual beneficial. I believe in sharing knowledge. In such a case you will be able to learn from me as well as I can learn from you . If after reading information about medical and sports massage, or viewing lessons you will have any question I'm encouraging you to make comments or initiate discussion topic . In such a case my replies will be available for many to read, as well as your replies. Looking forward for great relationship.

Best wishes.
Boris

Also Sunrise, vastus intermedius might be involved with rectus femoris.

Sunrise:

It might be that there are triggers in the psoas and the referral pain could be in the TFL or near where the psoas inserts

I have a client with several Piriformis tps on her right lateral hip. When I place static pressure, or strip across its fibers she says she feels it in the front of her hip around the right AIIS. Has anyone experienced a pain referral zone like this? I can't find it on any of the charts.
Thanks
