Trigger Point Therapy Massage is a massage technique that focuses on relaxing the muscle tissue and connective tissue. A Trigger point is a sensitive area in the muscle or connective tissue that becomes painful when compressed. Pressing on a trigger point can cause or “trigger” referral pain and can help identify the source of the pain. Trigger points can also radiate pain throughout the muscle and fascia, causing myofascial pain syndromes.

Alternating levels of sustained pressure are applied for a long enough time to inactivate or release the trigger points. The pain will decrease as the trigger point releases, leading to a pleasant experience.
