- •The diagnostic criteria of TrPs on examination are:
- •\- A palpable, taut band present in a muscle
- •\- Pain elicited by digital pressure
- •\- A characteristic pattern of referred pain specific to individual muscles
- •\- The occurrence of a LTR as a result of needle insertion
- •\- Limited stretch range of motion
- •Must be able to attend all treatments
- •Participants cannot be on anti\-inflammatories or other drugs which might alter their pain during the study
Exclusion Criteria
- •Contra\-indicated for Myofascial decompression therapy
- •Contra\-indicated for myofascial dry needling
- •Received any form of treatment which may interfere with the results of the study such as massage therapy, physiotherapy, medications in the form of analgesics or anti\-inflammatories.
