How it works
Reduces muscle tone and trigger point activity in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and suboccipital muscles. Increases local blood flow and reduces local pain sensitisation.
Effects may not be durable without complementary exercise. Short-term benefit well-established; evidence for long-term outcomes is weaker. Most beneficial for the muscular component of neck pain.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
