ladylaura, I have had massages for years and have tried numerous therapists but stopped several years ago. Recently I began a search for the new therapist and specifically looked for a therapist that included active isolating stretching with trigger point therapy. I happened to find one that is fantastic. She uses all types of techniques and was familiar with TOS. I called several in my area and questioned them prior to making my first appointment. I guess that I have been lucky finding a great one.
