@@Nielasher Hi @Nielasher What is this part highlighted above upper latissimus trigger point that goes over axilla and ends up at front of the shoulder, I feel like there is an important connection and I would like to know if there is a video where you covered that particular part? Thanks.

​@@megadelfine do you mean from lateral border of scapula and fold of axilla ?

Hi Cynthia, Latisimus Dorsi referral is usually posterior or over the deltoid, not to the chest behind the breast. It could be a trigger point in another muscle but it is really worth getting a qualified opinion, because other structures may be involved.

@@Nielasher Thank you Dr. Asher. My chiropractor ordered a CT on lumbar all the way to include the left sacrum because thats a second debilitating pain i have. He did not adjust me prior to that and the results he said T12 small bulge. I truly appreciate your compassionate help. GOD bless you always with good health and happiness. I try not to cry a lot because i help care for my mother. But i havent been able to work since after New Year. I'm praying i have hope to get better. Thank you for your wonderful work.

Trigger points ARE EXTREMELY painful. Find a Licensed Massage Therapist who specializes in trigger point therapy. I am a retired LMT. Trigger points block blood flow to the muscle. The muscle will ache and spasm. This is what I specialized in because it works if done properly!

Me too omg it’s like a dull ache !!xx

@@megandenny4783 buy that tennis sized ball thats quite hard used to deep massage, place it under area and lay on it.... or lean on ball against wall hurts so good , but massages out the pressure point , only way to heal it

I am a retired Licensed Massage Therapist, and I specialized in trigger point therapy. I have also torn 4 muscles. I understand your pain, If you can find a Licensed Massage Therapist who specializes in Trigger Point Therapy, I believe this will help you. Trigger points block blood flow to the muscle and eventually the muscle will spasm. I wish you well...!

Hi Mitzi, Thank you very much for your feedback. For more information or to find a therapist please visit our website www.nielasher.com

for me i've once fell off a skateboard in sitting position with my both hands landed first

Stretching does help, however, the key is to find the trigger point and having it worked out.

Find a licensed massage therapist who specializes in trigger point therapy. I am a retired LMT and I specialized in trigger point therapy. These nasty trigger points will block blood flow to the muscle and the muscle will not be able to function properly. Circulation and blood flow is what you need. An example I have was a client who lost function in one leg for almost a year. I found the trigger points, worked them out and within 3 weeks, she was dancing and pain free. A good therapist will know how to find them and how to work them out. I wish you well.

Hi Hugh, Posture maybe involved, but crookedness as Paul Ingraham suggests is not the be all and end all of these problems. Correcting muscle imbalances may well help and often does but it doesn't mean it is the only cause. One needs to consider whether correcting posture could do more harm than good. How long has the patient beem experiencing symptoms. For example if the pain pain only started six months ago in a 40 year old person, why did it take that long to present? What were they doing for the other 30 odd years that were pain free. Good in depth clinical reasoning as to what Structures, Causes, Mechanisms of pain along with potential Contributing factors, is essential. NAT runs a good clinical reasoning course concerning this.

​@@Nielasher excellent explanation. .thank you

Retired LMT here. The trigger point will be painful. It's filled with toxins. Trigger points also block blood flow to the muscle. My favorite tool was my thumb and putting pressure on the point until I felt it release. Using a pain scale of 1 to 10, I would tell my client that 7 was the highest I would go. (You don't want to injure the muscle). Hold the point for about 15 to 20 seconds. I would also have my clients ice the area after therapy.

I also have more intense pain in trigger point than the other area where if is referred. Is it common ?

Go to a hospital man... 😅

If it's a level 3 strain you won't heal without surgery. If it's been in pain for 3months, that's a sign it's a level 3 strain. Have a doctor do an MRI scan to pin point what exactly is wrong. This is your life we are speaking about, you only get one. Have a doctor help you. If you do not have insurance, apply for medicaid.
