Trigger Point Release (also known as Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy) is a manual therapy technique used to relieve muscle tightness, tenderness, and referred pain caused by trigger points — small, hyperirritable nodules in muscle tissue.

🔹 What is a Trigger Point?

A trigger point is a knot or tight band within a muscle that:
• Causes local tenderness when pressed
• May refer pain to another area (for example, a neck trigger point causing headaches)
• Leads to reduced range of motion or stiffness

Common causes include poor posture, muscle overuse, stress, and injury.

🔹 Purpose of Trigger Point Release
• Reduce muscle tightness and pain
• Improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation
• Restore normal muscle function
• Enhance flexibility and movement

🔹 Techniques Used
1. Manual Pressure (Ischemic Compression):
• The therapist applies steady pressure to the trigger point using fingers, thumb, or an elbow.
• Pressure is held until discomfort lessens (usually 30–90 seconds).
2. Instrument-Assisted Release:
• Tools or massage devices are used to apply controlled pressure.
3. Dry Needling or Acupuncture:
• Involves inserting fine needles into trigger points (performed by trained clinicians).
4. Stretching and Movement After Release:
• The affected muscle is gently stretched to prevent re-tightening

🔹 What You May Feel
• Mild discomfort or tenderness during pressure
• Warmth or muscle twitch
• Relief and increased mobility afterward
• Slight soreness for up to 24 hours (similar to post-exercise soreness)

Welcome all🌞
My name is Jessica Dobson and I am a second-year apprentice at Edwards & Holloway Health & Wellness in Red Deer, AB. I completed my first-year certificate this past July where I gained 1,000 hours of experience in a combination of anatomy and physiology, relaxation massage, and sports massage (level 1).

Edwards & Holloway is a quaint and comfortable clinic with a welcoming team that I am very excited to be a part of. I am currently taking my second-year classes through the Alberta Institute of Massage where we dive deeper into treating certain conditions and learn some more intricate and specific techniques.

As a second year student, my rates are reduced until graduation making this an excellent opportunity for those not using a benefit plan, or for clients who are limited in their coverage but would like to continue reaping the benefits of massage.
