A clearer look at the problem.

Tension through the upper trapezius and muscles around the shoulder blades may be related to sensitive trigger points, posture, repeated work, training load or another underlying problem. Radial pressure wave treatment can be applied to selected muscle tissue, but an assessment first helps determine what is driving the tension.

How we approach it

  1. 01Check the neck, shoulder and upper back
  2. 02Identify the specific muscle and sensitive points
  3. 03Apply pressure waves at a comfortable setting
  4. 04Address the movement, workload or strength factors that may keep it returning

Treatment should match the tissue, the person and the goal.

Assessment helps us identify the muscles and contributing movement or workload factors so treatment can provide focused relief and support longer term improvement.
