Benefits of Trigger Point Massage
Reduces Muscle Pain and Tension
Trigger points may cause sharp pain, dull aches, or referred discomfort. Targeted pressure helps release these points and ease muscle tightness.
Improves Range of Motion
Restricted muscle fibers limit movement. Trigger point therapy lengthens and relaxes muscles, restoring natural mobility and flexibility.
Supports Faster Recovery
Improved circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients that aid tissue repair, especially beneficial for athletes or those recovering from strain.
Manages Chronic Conditions
Regular sessions may reduce flare-ups linked to tension headaches, TMJ disorder, fibromyalgia, and lower back pain.
Circulation & Relaxation
What is Trigger Point Massage Therapy?
Trigger point massage focuses on specific, hyper-irritable spots within the muscle that often develop from overuse, stress, or injury. During a session, your therapist applies direct pressure to these points and may incorporate stretching to encourage muscle fibers to relax.
Unlike relaxation massage, which works broadly across muscle groups, trigger point therapy pinpoints problem areas for measurable relief. While mild discomfort is common during treatment, most clients experience significant improvements in mobility and pain reduction afterward.

A Tradition of Healing
The History of Trigger Point
Trigger point therapy emerged in the mid-20th century when researchers identified hypersensitive spots in muscle fibers that could cause referred pain elsewhere in the body. Over time, massage therapists developed manual techniques—sustained pressure combined with gentle stretching—to release these points. Today, trigger point massage is widely used in clinical settings to address chronic muscle pain and improve mobility.
