- Abstract:
  The article discusses myofascial trigger point therapy techniques and benefits that need to be acknowledged by massage therapy professionals. Topics explored include the effectiveness demonstrated by this therapy in providing chronic pain relief, the use of direct compression in pressing trigger points, and the introductory training being offered by the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists (NAMTPT) which could help therapists earn board certification.
