The obvious error of Deep Tissue/Trigger Point Massage. It treats the wrong end of the problem. 2018

Address why your muscles are sore.

From a facebook-live video

Address WHY you have the trigger points.
I thought massage would help.
Found the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook March 10, 2010.
Memorized the two medical volumes ‘Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction’ by Simons and Travell.
Medical massage school, CNMT, CMFT, LMT. (later an advanced osteo-articular release certification COTT)
Constantly self massaging/trigger point release.
Problem kept coming back.
Tricks nervous system into relaxing the muscles.
Then the tension comes back.
Your nervous system controls your tension.
It learns the pattern and can even hold it outside your awareness.
Muscles unhappy from constant tension.
It’s not age. Your nervous system is doing your stress reaction all the time.
If you take control, you can teach your nervous system to remember how to relax the muscles. It needs movement feedback to remember.
Remember, do not go into any strain, discomfort or pain while doing these movements. These are the practice videos for my clients.
