Sadly enough...my wife (who is not a PT) is probably the only one with any experience with internal trigger point therapy in Toronto.
And no, she's not accepting any patients.
You may want to do some work, and try to find a PT who is willing to learn.
However, I had an interesting coversation with a chiropactor, who does internal treatment of the coccyx. He thought that PT's in Ontario would not be licensed to treat anyone internally. Chiropractors are allowed to do that for purposes of adjusting the coccyx.

There is a PT chiro in Montreal on rue Papineau. Dr Sicotte

Thank you both for your replies. Ropertpagen, I will see if I can find Dr Siccotte's website. SickofCP, I know a PT and I'll see if she is interested in learning triggerpoint. As a matter of interest, where did your wife get the knowhow? Did she go to Stanford?
