#Trigger Point Therapy

Putting this in a pinned post to make it easy to find/share. We all know how Tumblr is about things (and to be fair, I'm terrible and inconsistent as hell with tags).

Link to the "shoulder release" document:

Notes about this guide:

This is a WIP, and still very much in the rough draft phase. Please forgive typos/errors. I literally haven't done a single edit yet.

The document focuses on releasing shoulders as a way to treat neck tension and migraines. Seriously, just trust me. It helps.

Carpal tunnel? Tennis elbow? Golfer's elbow? AC (acromioclavicular) joint injury? Rotator cuff problems? Tight upper back? Sporadic numbness in your arm? Seriously, just try the muscles already listed. You'll likely find at least some relief. Like, if it involves the upper body, release your shoulders.

I've done my best to make this able to be understood by people without massage training. So if it seems like it's covering really "obvious" info, that's intentional. Just skip the section if you already know things.

A lot of massage therapists may balk at me telling you to dig around in your own armpit. We're taught in school to avoid the area. Why? Because there's a crap ton of nerves and blood vessels there. *Which is precisely why releasing this area is so powerful.* There's also a ton of muscle (on yes, basically everybody) here that will protect all those structures. It's honestly really safe so long as you stick to "In pain, refrain!" And read the other rules too.

90% of the time, the culprit is one of the four muscles listed (or any combination of them). If you are someone who exercises a lot/does yoga/is otherwise pretty physically active, you are more likely to fall into the 10% of people who will have their issue somewhere else/it will just be really hard to find. So bear that in mind.

Sadly, this sort of thing will probably never be a "one and done" type of deal. Most of the things we do every day steadily build up to cause problems, and you have to constantly work to undo that entropy. So save these notes for future you.

And just in case you want to know what the hell qualifies me to make this sort of document, here are my "quals."

My first career attempt was nursing. While this did not go well (doctors don't really appreciate autistic students willing to question their authority) I learned a shit ton about the body. I became a student teacher for the anatomy and physiology class because I was so good at it (and that professor used to teach the pre-med students). A&P is now literally one of my special interests.

8 years as a licensed massage therapist focused exclusively on injury therapy. I studied Rolfing techniques, and primarily used trigger point therapy, structural integration, and myofascial release as my tools. Clients liked to joke that going to see me was like seeing the physical therapist (they weren't wrong).

Some of the stuff I share is literally self taught through "following the tension" in clients bodies. Like, I developed some of my protocols. And then practiced and refined them over 100s of bodies. The goal was always the most efficient and least painful way to achieve lasting release.

I eventually destroyed my shoulder doing massage (which was injured long before this career due to an AC joint sprain gotten when I was 20). Bonus, this means I'm *very* practiced at releasing my own shoulders.

I'm now a mechanical engineer, which just means I now have the engineering knowledge to understand to the force transferrence patterns I saw in clients all the time. Kinesiology is the same thing as statics and dynamics.

Hopefully that helps put perspective into things. I'll update this post as new versions of the document come out. I have a ton on my plate right now (who am I joking; I always have a ton on my plate), so please be patient waiting for updates.

Suhyun An Shares Chiropractic Techniques for Managing Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines can significantly impact the quality of life, often leading to frustration and discomfort. While medication offers temporary relief, chiropractic care provides a holistic approach that targets the root causes of these painful episodes. In this blog, Suhyun An explores how chiropractic techniques, including adjustments, trigger point therapy, and lifestyle guidance, can help manage headaches and migraines.

The Link Between Spinal Health and Headaches

One of the main causes of headaches and migraines is tension in the neck and spine. Misalignments in the cervical vertebrae can trigger muscle tightness and nerve irritation, leading to painful headaches. Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, releasing pressure and tension that may be causing these issues. Suhyun An emphasizes the importance of maintaining spinal health to prevent recurring headaches and improve overall comfort.

Chiropractic Adjustments: Targeting the Source of Pain

Chiropractic adjustments are a cornerstone in treating headaches and migraines. By carefully manipulating the spine, chiropractors can relieve pressure on the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and correct misalignments. His approach involves a personalized treatment plan that addresses each patient’s unique spinal issues, ensuring precise adjustments that target the root cause of headaches. This technique not only alleviates pain but also prevents future headaches.

Trigger Point Therapy: Releasing Muscle Tension

Trigger points, or tight knots in the muscles, are common contributors to headaches, particularly tension headaches. Trigger point therapy relieves muscle tension and tightness in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Chiropractors like Suhyun An can release tension and reduce headache intensity by applying pressure to these specific points. Patients often experience significant relief as muscle tension decreases and circulation improves.

Lifestyle Adjustments for Headache Prevention

Chiropractic care goes beyond spinal adjustments. She advises patients on lifestyle changes that can prevent headaches from recurring. Factors like posture, diet, stress levels, and hydration all play a role in triggering headaches and migraines. Incorporating ergonomic practices at work, staying hydrated, and managing stress through relaxation techniques can greatly reduce headache frequency. 

Migraine Treatment with Chiropractic Care

Migraines can be debilitating, but chiropractic care can be an integral part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Along with adjustments and trigger point therapy, chiropractors may use techniques such as massage therapy, electrical stimulation, or acupuncture to address migraines. Suhyun An often integrates these therapies to provide a multi-faceted approach to pain relief. This comprehensive care helps reduce the intensity and duration of migraines, giving patients a better quality of life.

Effective Massage Therapy Techniques for Relieving Muscle Strain

Massage can help reduce muscle tension, increase blood circulation, and promote relaxation, all of which can contribute to faster recovery and pain relief. Here we are presenting a brief about various types of massage therapies relieving muscle strain.

How does Myofascial Therapy Help You?

Myofascial therapy, often referred to as myofascial release or MFR, is a type of physical therapy used to treat myofascial pain syndrome—a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in your myofascial tissues. These tissues surround and support the muscles throughout your body. Natural Healthcare Services explains below how myofascial therapy can help:

https://naturalhealthcareservices.com/how-does-myofascial-therapy-help-you/

Pain Relief: Myofascial therapy can help to reduce pain by releasing tension in the fascia and muscles. This can be helpful for a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tension.

Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion: By targeting the fascia that can restrict muscle movement, myofascial release can increase flexibility and range of motion. This can be helpful for people who have been injured or who have limited range of motion due to conditions such as arthritis.

Improved Circulation: The loosening of tight fascial restrictions can improve blood circulation, allowing for better nutrient and oxygen supply to the muscles and tissues. This may speed up recovery from muscle soreness or injury.

Reduction in Muscle Soreness: After intense physical activity, myofascial release can help alleviate delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by promoting better circulation and reducing facial tightness.

Enhanced Muscle Function: Tight fascia can inhibit muscle function. Releasing this tightness can allow muscles to function more efficiently and with greater strength and coordination.

Relief from Chronic Conditions: Some chronic conditions, like fibromyalgia, are believed to be associated with fascial restrictions. Patients with such conditions sometimes report relief from symptoms after undergoing myofascial therapy.

Stress Reduction: The techniques used in myofascial release often promote relaxation, similar to the effects of traditional massage therapy. This can result in reduced stress levels, which can contribute to overall well-being.

Promote healing: Myofascial therapy can help to promote healing by improving blood flow and circulation to the affected area. This can be helpful for people who are recovering from an injury or surgery.

Myofascial therapy often complements other treatments, such as physical therapy or medication management, and can be part of a comprehensive pain management plan. When seeking myofascial therapy, it's essential to work with a trained therapist like Natural Healthcare Services, who can evaluate and address your specific needs.It’s important to note that while many people find relief with myofascial therapy, its efficacy can vary from person to person. Always consult a healthcare provider for a thorough diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs. Contact Natural Health Care today to to make an appointment 724-295-5591

I would like to rant about motherhood and the awful things about it, read more bar is there if you don’t want to read it or engage with my rant. I don’t blame you if you want nothing to do with it, it’s more for me anyway lol

Never in my life have I ever felt so lonely and so depressed, just genuinely, at the core sad and alone.

I have people in my life, but I don’t have a village. My village is in shambles. It’s full of people who like to ask how I am, but don’t like to hear that I’m not well. The people I’ve reached out to got angry at me for reaching out, so I’ve just stopped reaching out. “I’m fine.” The people who have helped me with the girls fuck it up every fucking time, don’t listen to me or my wishes or my open anxieties. So, not only do I not share how I’m actually doing, now I don’t call on people to help me because it isn’t worth the trouble of them fucking up my children’s day-to-day life and schedule.

It’s impossible to not feel like a burden to others when their lives are unaffected, when they aren’t drowning like I am, when every aspect of their life hasn’t been greatly altered and twisted. I am not the same person I once was and I’ll never go back to her. I don’t know how to dress, I don’t know how to interact with people, I don’t know what my hobbies are. It’s hard to not feel like a bother when I’ve been this sad for this long.

No one understands if they haven’t done this before, if they haven’t become a mother. I understand what mothers before me were talking about when they told me motherhood is lonely. This is an experience that is so specific and can only be understood if you have experienced it. Another reason I don’t confide in others in my life— they don’t understand.

I’m so tired of the empty, “I’m sorry”s. I’m so tired of waking up and living the same day over and over. I’m so tired of my husband’s life being virtually unaffected by the birth of our girls while mine is so genuinely fucked up now.

I’m just so tired and so lonely and so sad.

And now Husband leaves in a week to start a new job three hours away and I’ll be staying here with the girls. Even more alone.
