Treatment
Trigger Point Therapy
Those tight knots that ache and refer pain elsewhere are trigger points, and releasing them can bring quick, welcome relief.
Trigger point therapy uses focused pressure on tight muscle knots that ache and refer pain to nearby areas. These knots can quietly drive pain far from where they sit. Releasing them often brings quick, welcome relief.
Steady, targeted pressure releases the knot and lets the muscle relax and lengthen. As it lets go, the muscle stops pulling on the surrounding area. The pressure eases as the knot begins to release.
Pain eases, motion improves, and the muscle stops tugging on the joint or nerve nearby. Clearing the knot can relieve aches that seemed unrelated at first. Relief is often noticeable right away.
