Trigger Point Therapy

Targeted Pain Relief for Muscle Knots & Tension

Trigger point therapy is a specialized massage technique that focuses on releasing hyper-irritable muscle knots, known as trigger points. These tight spots can cause localized and referred pain, impacting mobility and function. By applying sustained pressure, trigger point therapy breaks up adhesions, relieves tension, and restores muscle function.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy:

  • Relieves localized and referred pain

  • Releases stubborn muscle knots and tension

  • Improves flexibility and range of motion

  • Reduces tension headaches and chronic pain

  • Enhances posture and mobility

Best For:

  • Individuals with chronic muscle pain and tightness

  • Those with restricted movement and stiffness

  • Clients with localized areas of discomfort

Contraindications:

  • Acute muscle injuries

  • Severe inflammation or swelling

  • Recent surgery or trauma

  • Fibromyalgia flare-ups

  • Severe nerve entrapment (e.g., advanced carpal tunnel, sciatica, or herniated discs)

  • Unstable or acute joint conditions (e.g., frozen shoulder, severe arthritis flare-up)
