Many practitioners treat trigger points. Myofascial trigger point therapy is performed by a trained Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist with the credentials of MTPT or CMTPT.

• Training is from a program recognized by the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists, (NAMTPT).

• A specific treatment protocol is followed to assess and treat myofascial pain & dysfunction resulting from trigger points, (TrPs).
