What Is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger points are hyperirritable spots in your muscle tissue. When pressed, they can cause pain locally and in distant areas.
Skilled therapists apply focused pressure to “deactivate” these knots, improve circulation, and restore muscle function.
Common Causes & Symptoms
Repetitive movements
Poor posture
Stress and tension
Injury or trauma
Overuse of muscles
Chronic muscle pain or stiffness
Headaches and migraines
Back, neck, and shoulder pain
Reduced range of motion
Numbness or tingling sensations
How Trigger Point Therapy Works
During a session, your therapist uses fingers, knuckles, or tools to locate and release trigger points.
- Increases blood flow
- Flushes out toxins
- Releases muscle tightness
- Resets nerve signals
- Promotes deep, lasting relief

What to Expect During a Session
- Session on a massage table with or without oil
- Trigger points located and released with direct pressure
- 30–90 minute sessions tailored to your needs
- Mild soreness may occur (like after a workout)
It’s often combined with stretching, myofascial release, or deep tissue work for best results.
