Trigger Point

The goal of trigger point massage is to locate those active trigger points and encourage them to "calm down". If your therapist can release the trigger point, your entire muscle will relax and function normally ( and you'll feel so much better).

Your massage therapist will start by palpating your muscles to identify the source of your pain ( often a trigger point ). They'll then use direct pressure on the trigger point to encourage it to release. They may also include stretching, kneading, and other techniques to help the muscles relax.

This pressure may feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you've had the problem for a while. Communication with your therapist is key to ensuring a successful session.
