How is referred pain important to NMT therapists?

What will be an ideal response?


A complete response should include these concepts:
• Referred pain occurs when a trigger point in one muscle group generates pain in an entirely different muscle group.
• Trigger points in certain areas are associated with referral zones or areas where referred pain is most likely to occur.
• Because these areas are often predictable, they can be used to assist in locating trigger points as well as in assessment and treatment.
