Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy is a specialized technique integral to Therapeutic Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Sports Massage, aimed at relieving muscle tension and addressing holding patterns in the body. Research indicates that muscle adhesions, commonly known as “knots,” can create referred pain in areas distant from the knot itself. If left untreated, these trigger points can lead to long-term issues such as nerve damage and postural imbalances. At SWSM, our therapists are trained to identify and treat these trigger points to alleviate referred pain and promote healing.

Though Trigger Point Therapy can be intense, it should never be excessively painful. The goal is to work harmoniously with the nervous system to release these persistent knots. Our approach involves precise sensory touch and effective communication to ensure comfort and optimize results. Many clients experience significant improvements, including reduced chronic pain, enhanced muscle function, and resolution of lingering injuries.
