"I suffered with sciatic pain for many yeras. John Harris healed me through the use of Trigger Point bodywork. It has been 3 months and I am still pain free."

"I was having a lower back problem. Anytime I lay on my back or my belly it would hurt, aggravated by touch. John took me through some PNF stretches that are part of TP protocol . I got immediate results withiin 2 minutes. I had had the condition for 12 years. I can now lay on my back and stomach with no pain."

Vince Dutton, current 550 student and therapist in SBBTI's Trigger Point clinic

 

Trigger points are areas of hyperirritability within soft tissue that develop when a muscle is injured or overworked.  Trigger points are characterized by local tenderness and referred phenomena, which can include pain, tingling, numbness, burning or itching. SBBTI's Trigger Point Therapists apply direct pressure techniques with fingers, thumbs and tools to assess and alleviate trigger points, as well as cross fiber friction techniques for breaking up scar tissue, releasing adhesions and speeding tissue repair. The work is applicable to a variety of syndromes including: dizziness, earaches, nausea, numbness in hands and feet, headaches, neck and jaw pain, low back pain, hamstring pulls, tendonosis, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and assorted myofascial pain syndromes. 

 

 

"I feel totally releaxed and at peace. My body feels like a calm vibration- a sensation of being relaxed and alive. During the session, I would go into these spaces of heaven- like all is well. When she was doing my head chills ran down my spine. I'm really becoming aware of how importaqnt touch is- this kind of touch. Ah!  Heaven!"
