Manipulations are dangerous if the person hasn't competences to detect contraindications. Majority of injuries are due to non specialists,  and the incompetence of the operator. Avoid non professional massages.

Cyriax Treatment

Probably the most effective soft tissue treatment we use is friction massage. James Cyriax, the English orthopaedist, developed a functional examination to determine where the friction should be applied, since most of the time the most tender area was not the source of the pain. His theory was that the effect of friction was based on inducing a traumatic hyperaemia, movement of the tissue, increased tissue perfusion and mechanoreceptor stimulation. He was very close to the present-day findings based on sophisticated examination of the tissue. Recent studies using light microscopy, electron microscopy and immunoelectron microscopy have shown that after friction massage there is fibroblastic proliferation and realignment of collagen fibers.

Trigger Points

Myofascial trigger points are tiny knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. The defining symptom of a trigger point is referred pain; that is, trigger points usually send their pain to some other site. This is the reason conventional treatments of pain so often fail. It's a mistake to assume that the problem is at the place that hurts! Clinical research has shown that trigger points are the primary cause of pain seventy-five percent of the time and are at least a part of nearly every pain problem.

Trigger points cause headaches, neck and jaw pain, low back pain, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome. They are the source of the pain in such joints as the shoulder, wrist, hip, knee and ankle that is so often mistaken for arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, or ligament injury. Trigger points also cause symptoms as diverse as dizziness, earaches, sinusitis, nausea, heartburn, false heart pain, heart arrhythmia, genital pain and numbness in the hands and feet. Even fibromyalgia may have its beginnings with trigger points.

Luckily, the pain and other symptoms caused by trigger points occur in predictable patterns. When you know where to look, trigger points are easily located and deactivated.
