Trigger Point Therapy focuses on releasing tight, sensitive areas within muscles—commonly called “knots”—to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you feel more comfortable in your body.
What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger Point Therapy is a focused, hands-on approach designed to relieve localized muscle tension and the discomfort it can create. These “knots” can develop from stress, overuse, injury, or postural strain—and may cause pain not only at the source, but also in surrounding or referred areas.
Each session is tailored to your comfort level and goals, whether you're seeking relief from daily tension or support for a more persistent issue.
How This Therapy Can Help
- Reduce muscle tightness and “knots”
- Improve range of motion and flexibility
- Ease discomfort in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips
- Support recovery from repetitive strain or overuse
- Promote more natural, comfortable movement
What to Expect During Your Session
- Consultation: We discuss your symptoms, history, and comfort preferences.
- Assessment: Gentle evaluation to identify areas of muscle tension and restriction.
- Targeted Therapy: Sustained pressure applied to specific trigger points to help release tension.
- Aftercare Guidance: Simple tips to support your results between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Trigger Point Therapy be painful?
Some areas may feel tender as tension releases, but pressure is always adjusted to your comfort. Most clients describe it as “good pressure” that brings relief.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. Some clients feel improvement after one session, while others benefit from a short series of treatments for longer-lasting results.
Can this be combined with other therapies?
