Trigger Point Massage Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is designed to locate
tender areas found in tight muscles, often referred to as
"knots". These points can cause chronic or acute pain. This
therapy is designed to help release the contracted area in the
muscle. The therapist will apply sufficient pressure for 10 -
30 seconds to the trigger points to help release the
contraction and follow this with stretching the area in efforts
to prevent a recurrence. Trigger Point therapy helps to
relieve back pain, whiplash, and fibrositis amongst other
conditions.
