Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy and myofascial release are techniques that focus on hyperirritable spots in the fascia and surrounding skeletal muscle. These myofascial knots or “trigger points” can be compressed and massaged with varying degrees of pressure to break up the taut, stressed muscle fibers. The unexplained pain that frequently radiates from these spots points to tenderness in broader areas, sometimes distant from the trigger point itself. The concept of trigger point therapy provides a framework that can be used to help address certain musculoskeletal pain. Trigger point therapy is fast becoming a widely accepted treatment for those with physical therapy or sport recovery needs and for those who are just looking to bring more health and wellness to their life.
