Our office uses a holistic approach. That is, we have found that doing just one thing (for example therapeutic exercises) has only a small effect on reversing the injury process. However, if the treatment session begins with several techniques (like myofacial release, massage, gentle muscle stretching, ultrasound, electric stimulation, moist heat, and postural training) and then proceeds with therapeutic exercise, the body is on the road to muscle repair and full recovery.

Until recently, a major factor contributing to the lack of a clear treatment protocol has been the fact that researchers did not fully understand the physiology of muscle tension and muscle pain. They were also puzzled because they knew that pain canít be felt in muscle tissues. This is due to our basic anatomy. In order to feel pain, you need free pain receptors in the muscle fibers. However, there arenít any free pain receptors in muscle fibers.

The relatively few pain receptors that reside in the muscles are not freely accessible to their surroundings. They are protected by a hard capsule inside small anatomical sites called muscle spindles. These are about the size of a grain of rice. These spindles, randomly dispersed throughout all skeletal muscle, but more concentrated at the back of the neck, are filled with liquid and contain even tinier muscles called intrafusal fibers.

Muscle pain is most frequently related to tension, overuse, or muscle injury from exercise or physically-demanding work. In these cases, the pain tends to involve specific muscles and starts during or just after the activity. It is usually obvious which activity is causing the pain.
