What is Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger point therapy focuses on identifying and targeting trigger points—tight bands of muscle that can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. These points can form due to overuse, injury, or stress. Trigger points often cause referred pain, meaning that the pain is felt in a different area from where the trigger point is located.

By applying deep, sustained pressure to these points, our therapists help release tension and restore normal muscle function, providing immediate pain relief and long-term benefits.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy offers several therapeutic benefits that can help relieve both chronic pain and acute discomfort, including:

  1. Pain Relief: Relieves chronic pain, tension headaches, and joint pain caused by trigger points.
  2. Improved Mobility: Helps restore muscle flexibility and improve range of motion by releasing tight knots.
  3. Enhanced Circulation: Increases blood flow to the affected area, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation.
  4. Stress Reduction: Alleviates stress by relaxing tight muscles and reducing overall muscle tension.
  5. Faster Recovery: Ideal for athletes and active individuals recovering from sports injuries or muscle overuse.

Who Can Benefit from Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger point therapy is beneficial for a wide range of individuals, especially those suffering from chronic muscle pain or recurring tension. You may benefit from trigger point therapy if you:

  • Suffer from Chronic Pain: Ideal for those dealing with long-term neck, shoulder, or back pain.
  • Have Tension Headaches: Trigger points often cause headaches that can be relieved with targeted therapy.
  • Experience Reduced Mobility: Tight muscles and knots can limit your range of motion; trigger point therapy can help restore it.
