Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy involves finding and holding them until they release.  Trigger point therapy is a bodywork technique that involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Sometimes massage and trigger point therapy are performed together. Trigger point therapy is also called myofascial trigger point therapy. Trigger points may be associated with myofascial pain syndromes or fibromyalgia. Trigger points are very common. The purpose of trigger point therapy is to eliminate pain and to re-educate the muscles into pain-free habits.  After several treatments, the swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, tension is relieved, and circulation is improved.
