Trigger Point Therapy

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Trigger Point Therapy is a bodywork technique used to treat active and latent “knots” in your body. Trigger points are very common and they can be felt as a lump when touched. This is why many people refer to them as “muscle knots”. Trigger points can be caused by repetitive motions, injuries and several other activities.  These muscle knots can form anywhere in the body. The massage therapy technique used to treat the tender, painful muscles can very in pressure and style depending on the location of the muscle knot and how contracted the muscle really is. The purpose of trigger point therapy is to eliminate the muscle knot by getting the blood flow in the effected area regulated and back to a normal flow. This will allow the oxygen and nutrients to flow freely through the muscle again, relieving the swelling and stiffness caused by the metabolic waste and toxin build up. Once the knot has been worked out, pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, tension is relieved and circulation, flexibility, and coordination are improved.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
