Have you reached your Trigger Point?
So, what is a trigger point? A trigger point is a painful local contracture or tight band in a muscle fiber that can disrupt function, restrict range of motion, refer pain or cause local tenderness. Dry needling is a gentle treatment where a thin monofilament needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. When dry needling is applied to a dysfunctional muscle or trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain.

The soreness will come on earlier and earlier in the day as the week goes on. And of course, over the weekend, you may feel amazing since are probably moving properly again.
One of the very best ways to get started is to begin with a small number of regular moves and stretches you can perform while sitting or standing at the desk.
