Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Understanding and Management at ANRC Physiotherapy Clinic- Horsham and East Grinstead
https://anrc-uk.com/appointment/

What is Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS)?

Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a chronic pain disorder caused by trigger points—tight, sensitive knots in the muscles that can cause referred pain in other areas of the body. Unlike general muscle pain, MPS persists and worsens over time if left untreated. It commonly affects the neck, shoulders, back, and hips but can occur in any muscle group.

Causes of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Muscle overuse or repetitive strain

Poor posture

Stress and anxiety leading to muscle tension

Lack of movement or a sedentary lifestyle

Direct trauma or injury to a muscle

Nutritional deficiencies

Sleep disturbances

Symptoms of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Deep, aching muscle pain

Presence of trigger points that cause localized or referred pain

Muscle stiffness and reduced range of motion

Fatigue due to persistent pain

Headaches or jaw pain (if affecting the neck or jaw muscles)

Management of Myofascial Pain Syndrome at ANRC Physiotherapy Clinic

At ANRC Physiotherapy Clinic, we specialize in evidence-based treatment strategies for managing Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Our personalized rehabilitation programs aim to alleviate pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence.

Step-by-Step Treatment Protocol

Patient history and lifestyle assessment

Physical examination to identify trigger points

Postural and movement analysis

2. Manual Therapy & Myofascial Release

Hands-on techniques such as trigger point therapy and myofascial release to relieve muscle tightness.

Soft tissue mobilization to enhance blood circulation and promote healing.

3. Dry Needling Therapy

Targeting myofascial trigger points with dry needling to reduce pain and muscle stiffness.

Encouraging natural healing and relaxation of muscle fibres.

4. Electrotherapy & Ultrasound Therapy

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for pain relief.

Ultrasound therapy improves tissue healing and reduces inflammation.

5. Corrective Exercises & Stretching Programs

Customized exercise plans focusing on postural correction and muscle strengthening.

Guided stretching routines to maintain flexibility and prevent trigger points.

6. Ergonomic & Lifestyle Modifications

Advice on workplace ergonomics to prevent muscle strain.

Stress management techniques such as breathing exercises and relaxation therapy.
