Study shows trigger point therapy helps increase range of motion

Soleus Trigger Points In my practice I've often been amazed at the rapidity in which clients experience relief with trigger point therapy. When applied directly, pain they've been experiencing causing limited range of motion are often relieved significantly after just one session.

To that end I thought I'd post an interesting study conducted in January 2011 by the Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies indicating how trigger point therapy applied to the soleus (part of the calf) muscle helped increase ankle dorsiflexion. Why is this helpful?

For those recovering from an ankle sprain or experiencing recurring cramping that's affecting your training, trigger point therapy can help speed up your recovery.

"This study has indicated that a single treatment of [trigger-point pressure release] has shown an immediate, significant increase in active ankle dorsiflexion".

Hi folks, As many of you know I have been seeking a qualified therapist to join the practice as I am leaving for Seattle at the end of March. Throughout this process I have been striving to find a therapist that would fit many hats. Traits I've sought include experience, confidence, intuition, business savvy, competence, trustworthiness and drive. It has not been easy and so I apologize for the many changes you've heard from me on which therapist will be working at the Studio but at the 11th hour I can confidently say, you will all be in extremely capable hands. Allow me to introduce Kelly Huegel...

Hi all,

Marcy Kopp, Client of Inspire Your Body, is fundraising for a worthy cause. Please read on and donate towards Face of America. Any amount helps!

Face of America The Face of America Bike Ride is a 120 mile bike race from DC to Gettysburg to raise money and support for our wounded warriors. I am a US Marine Corps wife and I have seen first hand the challenges our service men and women face. Those involved with the race hope to create camaraderie and honor those who give everything to our country.

During my husband’s recent deployment to Afghanistan, several of his comrades were injured and three were killed. I am riding this race in their honor. I would appreciate any support you care to give.

Thank you for remembering our American heroes.

With deepest appreciation,

Marcy Kopp
