will be measured as overall pain over the 7 days preceding the visit during activities

- Active trigger point (TrP) defined as a tender spot localised in a taut band of muscle
fibres associated with tenderness AND referred pain recognised by the patient into
well-defined areas that are remote from the TrP area at palpation AND preferably local
twitch response at palpation AND/OR jump sign at palpation

Exclusion Criteria:

- Disc/bone disease

- History of surgery on neck

- Neurological deficits, neuromuscular junction disorder, Motor Neuron disease

- Patient has received anesthetic injections to the target trigger point within 4 weeks
of study enrolment, or corticosteroid injections within 3 months
