Advanced Trigger Point Therapy Techniques for Eliminating Low Back Pain

Sponsored by Custom Craftworks, a brand of Pivotal Health Solutions, this hour-long webinar is geared toward physical therapists, athletic trainers, personal trainers and massage therapists, but anyone can use this information to better understand how myofascial dysfunction can impact us all. Muscles that harbor myofascial trigger points usually show a reduction in strength, power and even coordination. If these muscles are not treated, the dysfunction can continue and cause shifts in gait, posture, impaired athletic performance and ongoing pain.
