Trigger Point Therapy in Grande Prairie
Trigger point therapy is a specialized massage technique focused on relieving pain and tension in hyperirritable spots within muscle tissue, commonly referred to as “knots.” These trigger points can cause discomfort not only at the site but also in other areas of the body through referred pain. The technique involves applying sustained pressure to these points to release tightness, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function. It is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain, repetitive strain injuries, or tension-related headaches.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy
-
Reduces Local and Referred Pain
Trigger point therapy helps release tension in specific muscle knots that often cause pain in surrounding areas. By addressing the root of the discomfort, this technique can significantly reduce both localized and radiating pain. -
Improves Muscle Function and Flexibility
Releasing trigger points restores normal muscle tone and elasticity, allowing for smoother movement and improved physical performance in everyday activities. -
Enhances Circulation and Healing
Focused pressure on trigger points stimulates blood flow, which supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall recovery. -
Supports Recovery from Repetitive Strain
Ideal for those dealing with overuse injuries or chronic tension from repetitive motions, trigger point therapy helps reset muscle patterns and relieve built-up stress. -
Relieves Tension Headaches and Jaw Pain
Trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and jaw can contribute to tension headaches and TMJ discomfort. Targeted treatment can reduce the frequency and intensity of these symptoms.
