Or should you pull the trigger point towards the heart.

Unless a trainer is a certified massage therapist, it’s out of our scope of practice to manipulate tissue.

This would be a great question to ask your mentor or teacher from you massage school.

Hi Jorge,

I would suggest you check the different methods of myofascial release. And if you want to do better than that, see what MELT could do for your clients.

I agree with Sue’s and Karin’s responses completely. Always, always, work within your scope of practice. Proximal/distal manipulation is within the scope of a qualified therapist.

Take care.
