Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy focuses on identifying and deactivating "trigger points"—hyperirritable spots within taut bands of muscle fibers that can refer pain to other parts of the body. These points often feel like small, hard knots and can be a source of chronic pain, headaches, and restricted movement. The therapist applies direct, sustained pressure to these specific points, which can be initially uncomfortable, to encourage them to release. This sustained pressure helps to restore blood flow to the area, flush out metabolic waste, and alleviate the referred pain pattern. It's a highly targeted and effective technique for addressing localized pain and improving muscle function.
