Myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) is a condition characterized by pain in the muscles and connective tissue. It is the most common cause of somatic chronic pain. Trigger points are considered to be the cause of MFBS - foci of local hypertonicity. Symptoms of myofascial pain syndrome may include: ​

​

• pain points in the muscles

• limited mobility

• pain that worsens with movement

• muscle fatigue

• headache

• pain in the lower back.

​

Treatment for myofascial pain syndrome includes stretching, physical therapy, drug therapy, and/or injections at pain points. In addition, lifestyle changes, including increased physical activity and nutrition, may be helpful.

Trigger point inactivation techniques include compression, post-isometric relaxation techniques, and active and passive release. These methods, conditions and protocols for their use are discussed at three seminars on trigger therapy in patients with MFPS.

 

1st seminar: headache and neck pain.

2nd seminar: pain in the upper back, shoulder girdle and upper limb.

3rd seminar: lumbar pain and pain in the lower extremity.

​

Each workshop thoroughly discusses the sources of myofascial pain, muscle structures, and the most common trigger points (TPs). Students master the methods of TT deactivation, study a clear protocol for maintaining and monitoring a patient in accordance with current scientific and medical data.

 

The duration of each workshop is 3 days.

Participants are provided with teaching aids and video materials.
