Default Myofascial Trigger Points

Some of these symtoms may be the result of Myofascial Trigger Points in the muscles of the neck especially the Sternocleidomastoid, Temporalis muscles and Zygomaticotemporal (branch of trigeminal nerve) can be entrapped ny the temporalis muscle. There is also a trigger point in the right lowr medial chest that can influence the heart.

Read the below link and review. Some of these can be self treated. There are many ways to treat trigger points in the muscles. The most important treatment is a home stretch program.
