Trigger Point Therapy

     A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body.  A trigger point in the back, for example, may trigger pain in the neck.  The neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the head.  The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache.  Trigger points are caused by muscle overuse or injury, and because the aches are associated with moving parts, the pain is commonly mistaken for arthritis.

     Trigger point massage is specifically designed to alleviate the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release.  In this type of massage the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort.

     The result of trigger point massage is the elimination of toxins in the muscles and the release of pain relieving endorphins.  A significant decrease in pain is often found after just one treatment.
