Trigger Point Therapy | El Rapha Physio & Rehab Centre

What is Trigger Point Therapy?

It's a neuromuscular therapy used to correct muscular imbalances, relieve pain and promote healing. Trigger points are tight, sensitive knots that form within a muscle and can refer pain to other areas of the body.

Your therapist applies focused, sustained pressure to these knots to release tension and restore normal blood flow to the muscle.

Trigger point therapy is often combined with stretching and other massage techniques for longer-lasting relief.

Benefits:

Relieves referred pain caused by tight knots
Restores normal range of motion
Reduces headaches linked to neck and shoulder tension
Improves overall muscle function

What to expect from trigger point therapy

Your therapist will locate tender knots and apply steady pressure until the muscle begins to release.

Some pressure-point discomfort is normal during treatment but should ease as the muscle relaxes.

This treatment is often included as part of a deep tissue or sports massage session.
