Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that targets areas of muscle tension, known as trigger points. These trigger points are typically characterized by a small, tight knot within a muscle that can cause pain or discomfort, as well as referred pain in other areas of the body.

During trigger point therapy, a therapist applies pressure to these trigger points in order to release the tension and alleviate pain. This pressure may be applied using various techniques, such as deep tissue massage, stretching, or the use of specialized tools.

Trigger point therapy is often used to treat conditions such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, back pain, and fibromyalgia. It is also commonly used by athletes and individuals who engage in strenuous physical activity to help prevent and manage injuries.
