What is Trigger Point Myotherapy (TPM)?
Myotherapy literally means muscle therapy. Since muscle and connective tissue make up about 60-75 percent of a dog’s weight an imbalance or injury in the body’s soft tissue (muscles, tendons, and ligaments) can have a profound effect on overall health. Maximum function and comfort in the muscle system will result in the greatest motion possible for your dog. Instead of using drugs, myotherapy uses pressure and friction on muscles and connective tissue to restore the natural balance of the body. It is a method for relieving pain and related stress based on the application of compression to trigger points.
