Using Massage Therapy in the Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome


Myofascial pain syndrome is a painful condition that affects the muscles and fascia, the sheath of tissue that surrounds the muscles. Myofascial pain syndrome differs from other types of pain conditions in that the pain originates in trigger points, sensitive points in the muscles that trigger sensations of pain when touched. Trigger points can be latent or active. A latent trigger point does not cause constant pain, but is tender when touched and can be activated through muscle use. An active trigger point causes constant pain and can prevent normal muscle functioning, leading to decreased range of motion and weakness.

However, one does not need to be particularly busy to experience these negative effects, as routine tasks like driving to and from work, commuting on public transport, and coping with noise and pollution are common sources of stress. In large cities like Toronto, the daily routine can take its toll on both your psychological and your physical health. Researchers have found out that city residents are more likely to suffer from headaches, digestive problems, high blood pressure, and aches in muscles and joints.
