Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy is used to treat knots in the muscle. Trigger points are palpable hypersensitive knots found in taut muscle bands. They often create a characteristic referred pain pattern and twitch response in surrounding muscle tissue when pressed. To deactivate trigger points, pressure is applied to the knot until a change in the tissue is felt. Deactivating trigger points helps decrease pain and restore circulation in the affected area. Incorporating trigger point therapy massage into your treatment can effectively target and release these knots, promoting overall muscle health and alleviating discomfort.
