How Trigger Point Massage Works
Trigger point massage is a form of therapeutic massage that targets specific areas of muscle tension, known as trigger points. These trigger points are areas of muscle that are tight and sensitive, often causing pain or discomfort in other parts of the body.
During a session, the therapist applies pressure to these trigger points. Generally, using their fingers, knuckles, or other tools to release the tension and alleviate pain. The pressure applied may be intense and may involve some discomfort. But the therapist will work within the client’s comfort level.Is This Massage For Everyone?
This massage can be used to address a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and muscle spasms. It may also be used as part of a broader treatment plan for conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other chronic pain conditions.
It is often used in combination with other forms of massage therapy, such as circulatory massage, to help address tension and pain in the muscles and soft tissues. While considered safe and effective, it may not be appropriate for individuals with blood clotting disorders or deep vein thrombosis.
