Trigger Point Therapy in San Luis Obispo

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy is a targeted massage technique that focuses on relieving pain and tension caused by tight, hyper-irritable areas within muscle tissue—commonly known as “knots.” These trigger points can cause referred pain, meaning discomfort that shows up in areas far from the actual source of the tension. By applying sustained, focused pressure to these spots, the surrounding muscle fibers begin to release, improving blood flow and relieving pain.

This method is especially effective for those dealing with chronic pain, repetitive stress injuries, or limited range of motion. Athletes, desk workers, and individuals recovering from injury often find tremendous relief with trigger point therapy, especially when other types of massage haven’t reached the root of their discomfort. It’s also commonly used in combination with deep tissue massage to break up stubborn areas of tension and restore proper muscle function.

If you’re experiencing tension headaches, shoulder pain, sciatic discomfort, or tight hips and calves, trigger point therapy may be the missing piece in your recovery and wellness plan. Whether you’ve been living with chronic tension for years or recently developed muscular pain, this hands-on, results-driven technique can provide measurable relief and help prevent future flare-ups.
