Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy is a form of remedial massage, where deep pressure is applied to release sensitive, shortened or adhered areas deep within a muscle or connective tissue (fascia). The common, non-medical term is a “muscle knot”. A muscle’s trigger point can be activated due to overuse, trauma, inflammation, infections, nerve pain, and electrolyte imbalances.

Our physiotherapists are skilled in isolating the location of pain caused by a trigger point, and implementing treatment accordingly.
