This may be achieved by using various applied physical therapy methods, combine with the hands-one skill of the practitioner.

  • ·         TrP (trigger point injections / saline non-medicated)
  • ·         TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
  • ·         LLLT (low level laser (red light) therapy)
  • ·         RMT (registered massage therapy)
