Answer

Hypertonic muscles usually have trigger points that refer pain to another related area of the body. The treatment would include static pressure on the trigger points, sometimes called ischemic pressure, until they disperse and allow blood flow to return to the affected tissues. The overall affect would be to relax the muscles.
