Chronic pain often hides in small, stubborn muscle knots and these are called trigger points. These hyper-irritable spots can cause pain locally and in other parts of the body. Trigger point therapy is a precise approach to locate, treat, and release these tight knots, providing fast relief and lasting change.
What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger point therapy is a focused massage technique that addresses areas of tightness and sensitivity within muscles.
Therapists use targeted pressure to deactivate trigger points
The goal is to release tension in the muscle fibers and restore healthy blood flow
Pressure is carefully adjusted to match your comfort level and pain threshold
Sessions are adapted to your specific pain patterns and movement needs
It’s a direct and effective method for people experiencing muscle pain that doesn’t respond to general massage.
How Trigger Point Therapy Works
Trigger points can develop from stress, poor posture, injuries, or repetitive movement.
Restricted blood flow and nerve irritation create muscle “knots”
These knots shorten muscle fibers, leading to stiffness and pain
Focused pressure releases the contraction, restoring normal muscle length and function
Even a small adjustment can create immediate relief.
