Our clients come to us with persistent pain, muscle knots, or tension that never seems to let up. Often, the problem is a trigger point — a tight knot in the muscle that can cause not only localized pain but also discomfort that radiates to other parts of the body. I’ve seen how frustrating this can be, and I’ve also seen how powerful trigger point therapy is in bringing relief and restoring balance.

Why Trigger Point Massage Works

Unlike a general massage that focuses on overall relaxation, trigger point therapy is precise and intentional. Our therapists apply steady, focused pressure directly to the source of pain — those stubborn knots — helping the muscle release and return to its natural, healthy state.

This approach doesn’t just mask the pain; it addresses the root cause. Many of our clients experience immediate pain relief that not only eases local tension but also reduces discomfort radiating to other parts of the body. They often notice their muscles feel less stiff, their movements become easier, and their flexibility improves. Over time, this type of therapy also promotes better long-term muscle health by keeping the tissue balanced and resilient.

Who Can Benefit

Trigger point massage is an excellent choice for anyone living with chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, as well as those who struggle with tension headaches or migraines. It’s also highly effective for people who feel that muscle stiffness is limiting their daily activities or those managing conditions like fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome. Athletes and active individuals recovering from sports injuries or repetitive strain find it especially helpful, as it accelerates recovery and keeps muscles functioning at their best.

Whether you’re active, dealing with chronic pain, or simply tired of living with ongoing discomfort, this therapy can make a meaningful difference in how you feel each day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I feel the results?
Many of our clients feel noticeable relief after their very first session. If you’re dealing with a chronic condition, a series of treatments may be needed for longer-lasting results.

Is trigger point massage painful?
You may feel some tenderness when pressure is applied directly to the knot, but most people describe it as a “good hurt.” Any soreness usually fades within a day or two and is followed by greater ease of movement.

How often should I schedule a session?
The frequency depends on your needs. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions at first, while others maintain their results with monthly visits. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a schedule tailored to your goals.

Can trigger point therapy be combined with other types of massage?
Absolutely. Many of our therapists integrate trigger point therapy with relaxation, deep tissue, or stretching techniques to create the most effective treatment for you.

Who should avoid this type of massage?
Trigger point therapy may not be recommended if you have certain medical conditions or injuries. That’s why we always take time to review your health history and discuss your comfort level before starting any session.
