Myofacial ("myo" is from the Latin term for muscle) Therapy is a specialized form of muscle massage and stretching that uses deep manual pressure on specific spots on the body to release trigger points. Knots of tension, also known as trigger points, usually occur within a taut band of skeletal muscle or in the muscle's fascia (connective tissue encasing the muscle). Because these points are painful upon compression, they can "trigger," or cause, pain in other parts of the body.
