Trigger Point Therapy

« Types of Massage

Trigger points

are tightened areas within muscle tissues that cause pain in seemingly unrelated other parts of the body. A trigger point in the groin may release pain in the lower leg. Likewise, a trigger point in the back may produce pain in the abdomen. Trigger point massage therapy discovers and reduces these sources of pain through isolated pressure moves. The recipient breathes deeply and converses with the masseuse to pinpoint the location of the referral and trigger points. The result is the loosening of tense muscles and reduction of debilitating trigger pain. Just a single treatment can result in drastic reductions in pain felt. Frequent trigger point massage therapy is invaluable in helping those with chronic pain and other lingering ailments.
