Pam Madden, patient relations coordinator for Allied Physicians and Rehabilitation of Southern Illinois, reacts Tuesday to a guest successfully finding their trigger point during a free workshop held at the rehab center in Carbondale. The workshop focused on how to relieve pain though the body’s trigger points—areas of muscle spasm or tightness to the nervous system. Madden said the free workshops, which are available to the public, teach new patients techniques to help with faster recovery. “We are all about community education,” Madden said. “The more we give the community information on better health naturally, the more we accomplish our mission.” The next free workshop will be held at 6:30 p.m. April 22 at the rehab center located at 1100 W. Main St.
