muscular aches and pains. It is beneficial in the repair of ligaments, scar tissue flexibility, muscle spasm to name a few.

 

Trigger Point Therapy: Is a more specific treatment to release tension areas that can be causing, for example, leg pain, back pain and headaches. It is direct palpation to specific areas of each muscle. Much success has been achieved also, using ice spray and stretch technique, to release the “knots”. This is of benefit in frozen shoulder.

It doesn’t require oil, most often is performed through clothing and works across the muscle , not with it. Tends to be more gentle in its application and is safe to be used on people (and animals)of all ages, acute, chronic and systemic complaints.
