OTHERInterventions
Dry needling is a treatment that healthcare providers use for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. With this technique, a provider inserts thin needles into or near your trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch
Cross friction massage breaks down scar tissue and remodels the tissue into more flexible, pliable, and functional, healthy soft tissue. Also known as transverse friction massage, this technique is a deep tissue massage technique performed at the site of injury
