A hyper-irritable point which refers pain to other parts of the body is known as a:
  1. Stress point
  2. Latent point
  3. Acupressure point
  4. Trigger point
Explanation
Answer: D Trigger points refer pain to other parts of the body when pressure is applied or the point is “triggered” by movement, temperature, etc. Trigger points can be caused by a variety of conditions including injury, disease, trauma or a build-up of toxins in the area, etc. A stress point is similar to a trigger point but the stress point does not refer pain and is often caused by postural imbalances.
