What is Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger point therapy, also known as myofascial trigger point therapy, is a form of bodywork that focuses on identifying and treating trigger points in the muscles and surrounding tissues. Trigger points are hyperirritable knots or tight bands within the muscle fibers that can cause localized pain and referred pain in other areas of the body. Natural Healthcare Services has provided some of these benefits below:

Trigger point therapy aims to alleviate pain and restore normal muscle function by applying pressure to these specific trigger points. The pressure can be applied using various techniques, including direct pressure with fingers, elbows, or specialized tools. The therapist applies sustained pressure to the trigger point, often combined with stretching and movement of the affected muscle.

The goal of trigger point therapy is to release the tension and tightness in the trigger points, which helps to improve circulation, reduce muscle spasms, and promote healing. It can be used to address various musculoskeletal conditions and symptoms such as muscle pain, stiffness, restricted range of motion, and referred pain.

Trigger point therapy is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as myofascial pain syndrome, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain. It is commonly practiced by massage therapists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals trained in manual therapy techniques.

It is important to note that trigger point therapy should be performed by a trained professional like Natural Health Care Services, who understands the anatomy and physiology of the muscles to ensure safe and effective treatment.
