Understanding Trigger Points. And How Massage Therapy Can Help You Release Them

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are tight knots in your muscle fibers that cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. They can appear after overuse, poor posture, stress, or intense training and they often send pain to a different area of your body (known as referred pain).

Common Causes

• Repetitive movements or overtraining

• Stress and muscle tension

• Poor posture or long hours sitting

• Dehydration or fatigue

• Insufficient recovery

How Massage Therapy Helps Release Trigger Points

1.

Direct Pressure

Applying sustained pressure helps deactivate trigger points, restore blood flow, and release tension.

2.

Deep Tissue Techniques

Breaking down adhesions and tight layers in the muscle restores flexibility and prevents future stiffness.

3.

Myofascial Release

This technique targets the connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds your muscles, improving mobility and reducing chronic tightness.

4.

Stretching and Mobilization

After tension is released, gentle stretching helps maintain muscle length and balance.
