WHAT ARE TRIGGER POINTS?
Trigger points are sensitive or sore spots in soft tissue, also known as myofascial trigger points. Each trigger point is a small patch of tightly contracted muscle, a very small cramp that affects a very small patch of muscle tissue. The trigger point, just like its name, it ‘triggers’ the pain, meaning it is pain that is caused by a problem elsewhere in the body. The therapist’s job is to find that trigger point, and massage it to help you get rid of the pain.
Trigger points do not occur along the same paths, or meridians, that acupressure and acupuncture points present on the body. Trigger point therapy consists of massaging and pressing on trigger points until the cramped muscle relaxes, providing relief both at the trigger point and positively affecting the origin or source points in the body.

THE BENEFITS OF TRIGGER POINT THERAPY:
Along with their ability to help treat referred pain and restricted movement, patients experience additional therapeutic benefits of trigger point therapy. It is a deeply relaxing experience and — like other types of massage — can help with:
- Reducing muscle tension and stiffness
- Enhancing flexibility and joint mobility
- Supporting postural balance and muscular alignment
- Minimising tension-related headaches
- Assisting in the recovery of sports and occupational injuries
- Promoting deep relaxation and improved sleep quality
- Reducing stress and mental fatigue
The therapy also encourages healthy circulation, supports the lymphatic system, and enhances the body’s natural healing processes. By restoring optimal muscle function and balance, it helps improve overall wellbeing and physical performance.
