Myofascial Constrictions and Trigger Points
Influence on Emotions:
It is common for clients who are laden with chronic, intense myofascial
constrictions to report severe mental agitation, fretting, insomnia, and other
unpleasant thoughts and emotions. It is also common to hear these patients
exclaim how profoundly relieved they are of their unpleasant thoughts and
emotions after therapy relieves their constrictions and associated trigger
points.
In the typical chiropractic office, both the doctor's and the patient's
attention are usually on physical pain, and it's easy for the doctor to overlook
the relation of the physical pain to the patient's emotional suffering. Even
when a patient makes it clear that his emotions are being adversely affected by
his physical pain, the doctor may be hesitant to deal with the patient's
disturbed emotions.
Fortunately often the clients thoughts and emotions are based on the state of
their myofascial tissues; and the appropriate therapy is not psychotherapy but
treatment that can be delivered the physical intervention.
Using physical manipulation to alleviate patients' emotional suffering by
relaxing their myofascial constrictions is a new concept to many practitioners.
If a patient's emotional condition is of myofascial origin, the quickest, most
effective, and most reliable way to give him thoroughgoing relief is through
treatment directed to his myofascia.[1]
