Trigger Point Bodywork

What is trigger point bodywork?

A trigger point (TrP) is a collection of muscle cells that are in a continuous state of full contraction.  They are often referred to as a “muscle knot”.

Trigger point bodywork is aimed at removing these knots that are often found in taut bands of muscle and fascia.

These knots may be responsible for a large variety of physical problems.   The treatment involves localized pressure techniques to areas affected with knots.

Once they are removed, it allows the affected muscle to return to a state of normalcy (ie: heal) which almost always results in greatly improved muscle performance, as well as reduction or total elimination of the referred pain.

Trigger points may develop as a result of :

· Sedentary lifestyle

· Injury/trauma

· Repetitive strain

· Diet deficiencies

· Over-exercising

· Skeletal abnormalities

· Day-to-day emotional stress

Trigger points can cause symptoms such as dizziness, numbness, vertigo, sinus issues, toothache, chronic dry cough, tinnitus, cardiac arrhythmia, muscle weakness, sciatic pain, migraine, TMJD, back/neck/shoulder/hip/knee pain, headaches/migraine just to name a few.
