Trigger Point Therapy is a technique in which trigger points are located and manipulated to reduce the pain and "deactivate" the point..
Trigger points feel like little marbles or knots just under your skin. When pressing on trigger points, many people feel no pain or discomfort. Sometimes, trigger points become very sensitive, and some people feel significant pain in areas where they have trigger points.
Have you ever had a Charlie horse in a muscle? If so, then you know how this feels: the entire muscle goes into a painful spasm, and the only thing that seems to help is to gently elongate and stretch the muscle. Now, think of trigger points as tiny Charlie horses in your muscle. These pesky points don't cause that entire muscle to spasm, just a very small portion of it. But if you have enough trigger points, you may start to feel intense pain and experience limited muscle mobility.
Most trigger points are found in the muscle belly and can be tender to the touch. We hold the trigger point until we feel a release in the muscle holding pattern. We also utilize our tools, Dolphin Neurostim, Percussion, Manual or Automatic Cupping etc for trigger point stimulation or sedation.
