Trigger Point Therapy

Myofascial trigger point therapy consists of alternately concentrating pressure on nodes in the muscle. Pressure is applied with fingers, knuckles and elbows to effectively relieve muscle spasms. Trigger therapy and massages typically cause initial pain and “good pain”. Applying pressure to trigger points can also result in “passed on pain” (pain felt elsewhere). Sore muscles may appear for a few days after the session.
