When you say that you have a “muscle knot,” you are talking about a myofascial trigger point (TrP). A few trigger points here and there is usually just annoying, but multiple aggressive TrP’s are know as myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).

When you say that you have a “muscle knot,” you are talking about a myofascial trigger point (TrP). A few trigger points here and there is usually just annoying, but multiple aggressive TrP’s are know as myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).
There are no actual knots in there, of course — it just feels like it! Although their true nature is uncertain, the usual explanation is that a trigger point is a small patch of tightly contracted muscle, a micro-cramp afflicting just a tiny patch of muscle tissue. that small patch of muscle chokes off its own blood supply, which irritates it even more, a vicious cycle dubbed a “metabolic crisis.”

I practice Neuromuscular Manual Therapy for:
Injury prevention and rehabilitation, acute and chronic pain, professional athletes, motor vehicle accident injuries.

My philosophy on connective tissue health is to treat the whole rather than the affected, and the cause rather than the symptom. My passion is b. l. i. s. s.

Body. Life. Integrity. Somatic. Science.

I believe the body has the capacity to heal itself, with the guidance of an experienced practitioner.

I believe in treating for quality of life - which means different things to different people depending on their priorities and value systems.

I value integrity and believe it’s represented in the human body. In fact, the human body is a “tensegrity structure”, where the compression components (bones/skeleton) are connected through a network of tense cables, creating the tension components (fascia, tendon, ligament, and muscle).

I treat somatic pain- pain originating in the skin, ligament, muscle, bone, and joint.

I firmly believe ‘science is knowledge’, attained through study and practice. I currently study medical research to maintain an evidence based practice.
