What?

Myofascial therapy is a form of treatment of pains that are caused by a wrong functioning of the muscles. In these muscles, trigger points or pain points develop, which cause pain with a specific localization and radiation zone. Through a good diagnosis, taking into account the muscle chain in which this muscle functions, these triggerpoints can be detected and neutralized. 

This via specific pressure techniques and dry needling . Dry Needling is done with a fine, sterile acupuncture needle. The trigger point is accurately locatedwith a twitch as an objective feature. The release of the small muscle filaments and the disappearance of the hardened band, very characteristic of a trigger point, ensure the relaxation of the muscle so that the related pain disappears. Immediately after the treatment you can experience increased muscle stiffness. This is a normal effect from the waste products that are removed from the body.
