Trigger Points Revisited:From Modern Science to Clinical Practice
Tuesday 11th August 2026 @ 7 p.m.
Presenter: Simeon Niel-Asher
Synopsis: Trigger points remain one of the most commonly encountered - and often misunderstood - causes of musculoskeletal pain. In this practical workshop, Simeon Niel-Asher will explore our current understanding of trigger point physiology and pathophysiology, including recent developments in pain science and how trigger points fit within a modern biopsychosocial model of pain.
Using the TriggerPoints3D app throughout the presentation, Simeon will demonstrate how trigger point assessment and treatment can be integrated into everyday clinical practice through three common clinical presentations:
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Elbow Pain)
- Sciatica
- Pronator Teres Syndrome
Attendees will be encouraged to palpate and locate key trigger points on themselves during the session, providing an engaging and interactive learning experience that they can immediately apply in the clinic.
