What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy, commonly known as "Trigger Point Therapy," refers to the treatment of myofascial trigger points in muscles and fascia. Trigger points are located all over the body and are not necessarily detrimental to a person's health. However, an excessive number of trigger points is a common cause for chronic musculoskeletal pain and limited mobility.
Trigger Point Therapy works to release the tension in these points and relieve pain through targeted pressure. Related complementary therapies include myofascial release, massage therapy, and dry needling.
