What is Trigger Point Massage Therapy?

Trigger point therapy is a form of massage therapy that targets specific areas of tension within muscle fibers, known as trigger points.

These trigger points are tight knots within the muscle that may cause pain over a large area, often referred to as referred pain because the pain can be felt in parts of the body distant from the source of the trigger point.

The therapy involves applying pressure to these trigger points to alleviate the tension and pain.

Benefits of Trigger Point Massage Therapy

Improves Mobility and Range of Motion:

Trigger points can restrict movement due to the pain and stiffness they cause in muscles. Releasing these points can enhance flexibility and range of motion, making daily activities easier and more comfortable.

Pain

Reduction:

The primary benefit of trigger point therapy is its effectiveness in alleviating pain, both at the site of the trigger point and in areas that experience referred pain. By releasing the tension in these knots, it can help reduce discomfort significantly.

Reduced

Muscle Tension:

This therapy helps in breaking the cycle of spasm and pain by relaxing the muscle knots, thereby reducing overall muscle tension and preventing new pains and spasms from occurring.

Better

Posture:

Often, chronic trigger points are associated with poor posture. Addressing these can help correct postural issues, reducing the strain on other muscles and joints.

Enhanced

Circulation:

Pressure applied during trigger point therapy helps increase blood flow to the regions, which aids in healing by bringing nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and flushing out toxins.

Prevention

of Injury:

Regular trigger point massage can help keep muscles relaxed and blood flowing, which might reduce the risk of injuries in daily activities or sports.

Short and Long Term Effects

The treatments have been proven to reduce the need for medication, improve the outcomes for conditions treated and increase the recovery rates of affected tissues. In many instances, surgery can be delayed or even avoided. The following are some of the effects of the treatment:

  • Increases endorphin production which allows for reduction in pain medication

  • Elevates adenosine triphosphate production which increases energy for the cells

  • Modulates white blood cells which improves immune response

  • Stimulates DNA production and cell division which increases the rate of healing

  • Promotes collagen synthesis which enhances muscle, tendon and ligament strength

  • Improves lymphatic drainage which causes a reduction in swelling

  • Promotes angiogenesis and the creation of new blood vessels which improves circulation

  • Reduces inflammation and swelling leading to faster recovery time

  • Reduces the formation of fibrous tissue and scar tissue which promotes healthy tissue recovery
