MTrPs are hyperirritable points located within a taut band of skeletal muscle or fascia.2 When these points are compressed, they may cause referred pain, local tenderness, and autonomic changes.2 Pain may be localized or diffuse. It can be described as burning, dull, sharp, or some combination of these. Autonomic changes associated with a MTrP include dizziness, edema at the site, lacrimation, piloerection, salivation, and tinnitus. The compression of a MTrP can further lead to muscle spasm, stiffness, shortening, and fatigue.1 This may progress to impaired muscle coordination, reduced muscle strength, and decreased range of motion.1
