Trigger Point Myotherapy is based on a Western medical model. It is the result of many years of research and documentation by medical doctors. Dr. Janet Travell, White House Physician to President's Kennedy and Johnson, researched and published the specific pain patterns and symptoms caused by Trigger Points. She developed the treatment to successfully locate, treat and deactivate Trigger Points.
