Rolling, spiky balls, trigger point release… these terms and more all describe self-myofascial release. That is, when you use pressure to treat your sore muscles and other soft tissues. For those who have a manual therapist at their beck and call, just get them to deal with it! But for the rest of us, it’s a cost- and time- effective way of reducing pain, improving form, maintaining musculoskeletal health or rehabilitating an injury. While we may argue what trigger points are and why they exist, there’s no denying their effect on our lives. Learn the current state of play with trigger points, where they might be and how you can incorporate their treatment into your practice. This workshop will unpack the science and best guesses around trigger points and other muscular issues, how to treat them using self-release tools, and will touch on how to program them into sessions for your clients... and for you! 

The 3 hour workshop is suitable for… 

• Fully qualified Pilates Instructors
• Allied Health Professionals
• Students (Pilates method, massage, health sciences)
• Anyone who wants to learn more about trigger points for their own health
