Trigger Point Therapy is a specialized remedial massage therapy designed to relieve muscle tension and pain by directly targeting specific points within tender muscle tissue. This therapy has gained recognition as an effective method for pain relief, with therapists applying precise, direct pressure to these trigger points.
Pain relief often occurs within 30 seconds of application, and adjustments to angle and pressure are made as needed to ensure relief.
Trigger Point Therapy is particularly effective for treating neck pain, sciatic pain, and limited range of motion caused by muscle stiffness. Unlike conventional treatments such as muscle relaxants or anti-inflammatory medications, Trigger Point Therapy addresses the root cause of the pain rather than providing temporary relief, making it a preferred choice for many seeking long-term results.
Trigger Point Therapy is a massage technique that relieves discomfort caused by specific trigger points within muscle tissue. These "knots" are tight bands of muscle fibers that restrict blood flow and can refer pain to other body areas, creating widespread discomfort.
The therapy restores normal muscle function and alleviates pain by targeting and releasing these knots. The origins of Trigger Point Therapy can be traced back to Dr. Janet G. Travell, an American physician whose groundbreaking research in the s identified trigger points as a significant source of chronic pain.
