RE: Getting Knots Out???

[TheDandugan]

Knots do not inicate trigger points. If a hypertonic area does not refer, it is not a trigger. Many hypertonicites have undergone neural accommodation and do not cause pain, but tightness in surrounding areas

May I also say that it is very important to flush the area of toxins so that they don't build up worse than they were before.

You are very knowledgeable in this. I have nothing but the upmost respect for massage therapists like you.

Great video. I really loved your explanation on TP's. Very hard to find therapist that really understand "reffered pain". Claire's book has helped me greatly. However, in your descrption on treatment, you describe using "STATIC" pressure. I was curious as to why? Claire teaches that a "milking" movement over the TP's is the most effective treatment. Just curious why you use static pressure. Thanks for the video.

Static pressure is great for locating the trigger points, because you can ask them where the referral is and then you know you are on the right spot. Static pressure is also old school and some therapists still use that method and I teach my students both ways...because we have to adapt the treatment to the client...not the client to the treatment :)
