Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a specialized massage technique focused on relieving tight, sensitive areas within muscle tissue known as "trigger points." These areas, often referred to as muscle knots, can develop from stress, poor posture, repetitive movements, overuse, injury, or prolonged periods of sitting. Trigger points may cause localized discomfort or pain that radiates to other parts of the body.
During a Trigger Point Therapy session, your massage therapist applies targeted pressure to specific areas of muscle tension to help release restrictions, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function. While the pressure may feel intense at times, many clients experience significant relief and improved mobility following treatment.

What to Expect
Trigger Point Therapy is offered as a complimentary add-on and can be incorporated into any massage session. Because it focuses on specific areas of concern, time spent performing Trigger Point Therapy may reduce the amount of time available for general full-body massage. Your therapist will work with you to prioritize the areas that need the most attention and create a treatment plan that best supports your goals.
