In communicating with clients, many therapists like to use which of the following to evaluate the clients discomfort level and the effectiveness of trigger point release?
Verbal discomfort scale from 1 to 10
Many therapists like to use visual analog scales (VAS) to evaluate the client’s discomfort level and the effectiveness of trigger point release. A VAS is a straight line with labeled endpoints that represent the extremes of what is being measured (e.g., no pain to worst pain imaginable). Clients are asked to mark on the line where their discomfort level falls, which provides a quantitative measure of discomfort. Similarly, after trigger point release, clients are asked to mark on the line where their discomfort level falls, which provides a quantitative measure of its effectiveness. VAS is a quick and easy way to measure the client’s progress and enables therapists to adjust their treatment plan according to the results.
