Ease tension with targeted pressure
Trigger points are tight bands of muscle that can cause localized and referred pain and discomfort. But massage and pressure points go hand-in-hand. Your therapist can help pinpoint these areas and identify which ones are causing the most issues.
Trigger point therapy works to restore comfort and provide much needed relief. By applying sustained and targeted pressure in specific areas, your therapist can help release knots and trigger points, helping to ease pent up tension. You can also ask your therapist to incorporate the percussive therapy of Rapid Tension Relief to potentially enhance results.
Relief that gets right to the point
Trigger point therapy targets the problem at its source. With each session, you should notice improvements in mobility, feel less tension, and most importantly, find relief from everyday muscle pain and soreness.
