RESULTS: The results showed that the benefits of practicing manual therapy in non-invasive deactivation of trigger points are accurate and effective, since they can directly touch the nodule, causing a decrease in pain threshold, improvement in blood flow, relaxation Muscle tension and restoration of local functional normality. CONCLUSION: This literature review also showed that the treatment through the application of manual techniques is in increasing progress, since there are several studies proving the effectiveness of new techniques or the improvement of old techniques and their low cost.
