When my clients with pelvis misalignment are not aligned and pain-free within four to eight sessions, I suspect they have been reinjuring themselves by going to other therapists, exercising, or returning too soon to their sports. Lack of a nutritious diet and rest are other culprits. Read on for typical cases illustrating these reasons.

Muscle Knots - Trigger Points

When muscle fibers tear, the result is stiffness, pain and inflammation. The body is excellent at “soldering together” the broken ends within a couple of weeks. The end result is a knot, often called a trigger point: a lump where torn ends of fibers have healed.

However, those knotted fibers no longer expand and contract. Muscle strength is proportionally reduced. Even after the torn fibers have healed, if a nerve is involved, there may be chronic pain. A trigger point is aptly named. Pressing on the knot triggers pain!
