Nerve Locks are small knots/nodules similar to Trigger Points but much thicker and in different locations within the muscles. They can elicit a pain response on stimulation and generally found around a painful or irritable area of the body, muscle or fascia (the skin covering the muscle).
Pressing on Nerve Lock reproduces ‘referred pain’ in the local area. The pain can range from a low-grade constant dull ache to severe incapacitating pain, mimicking muscles tears and  be explained by findings on any neurological examination. They are created by trauma of any kind to the body – physical & emotional. Major trauma like an injury or surgery to micro trauma like sitting in a chair 12 hours a day.
