What are trigger points?
Trigger points are tight, sensitive spots in a muscle — often felt as “knots” — that can cause pain locally or refer pain to other areas of the body. They commonly develop from stress, poor posture, injury, or muscle overuse.
During massage, gentle, sustained pressure is applied to help these areas release, improve circulation, and reduce pain and tension. While the pressure can feel intense at times, it’s always worked within your comfort level and is followed by relief.
If you’ve ever felt pain in one area but couldn’t understand why it showed up somewhere else, trigger points may be the reason.
