Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots in the muscles that become contracted and can pull on tendons and ligaments, causing pain.
Before your trigger point treatment, a specialist therapist will discuss your pain, lifestyle, and habits. During the session, they will use a combination of pressure, deep tissue massage, and stretching to release these trigger points.
Sometimes these points refer pain to other parts of the body. For example, you may feel pain in your neck when the therapist works on a knot in your trapezius muscle.
Trigger point therapy is similar to myofascial release in that the therapist uses the same techniques, but they target different issues, such as trigger points that may be causing your pain.
During the treatment, your therapist may ask you to use deep breathing to help release the trigger points. As the name suggests, trigger point therapy focuses on releasing knots in the muscle and fascia with deeper, firm, targeted pressure, while myofascial release is directed at relaxing the fascial tissue with lighter, constant massage techniques.
These techniques go hand in hand, providing a comprehensive approach to relieving muscle pain and improving overall function.
Before your session, our specialist therapist will begin with a consultation to understand your pain, lifestyle, exercise routine and habits that may contribute to the tension in your muscles and body.
During the therapy, targeted pressure is applied directly to areas where your trigger point specialist can feel the trigger points, to release muscle knots.
The therapist combines this with deep tissue massage, breath work, and specific stretching techniques to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
This holistic approach not only releases physical tension but also helps to restore balance and function to affected muscles, leading to long-lasting relief from chronic pain or discomfort.
Trigger Point Therapy is highly effective for relieving localised muscle pain and is often combined with other treatments like Myofascial Release for your holistic care.
It is a targeted approach designed to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by trigger points, small, tight areas in muscle tissue that can create pain, discomfort and restrict movement.
When these points are activated, they disrupt normal muscle function and can contribute to a range of symptoms, including referred pain in other areas such as the back, shoulders, or neck.
This therapy focuses on a specialist therapist targeting these specific points to release tension and improve overall muscle function.
Treatment is recommended for:
Whether you’re an athlete, dealing with chronic muscle tension, sit for hours at a desk or are recovering from injury, Trigger Point Therapy can offer the relief and recovery you need for a more active, productive, pain-free life.

Both Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy are effective for relieving muscle pain, but they focus on different aspects of muscle and fascia health.
While both therapies relieve tension and pain, they complement each other well and will often be used together during your session.
