Trigger Point Massage Therapy is an advanced modality that aims to eliminate trigger points in the body. Trigger Points are points of pain and spasm in the muscle often referred to as "knots". Trigger Points form via athletic activity, stress, injury, and repetitive strain. Trigger Points get their name because they often trigger a referral sensation of pain, numbness, or tingling in other parts of the body. This is considered a trigger point pain pattern and it points the Massage Therapist performing the Trigger Point Massage in the right direction of the cause or effect of the active trigger point. There are two types of trigger points, active and latent. Active trigger points are those knots you can feel without touching, and when touched they refer pain, numbness, or tingling to other parts of the body. For example, a knot in the neck might refer pain in the temple when touched. Latent trigger points only hurt when touched but do not have a referral pattern. Trigger Point Massage Therapy can provide instant relief, but Trigger Point Massage Therapy done regularly and over time can be even more beneficial. Over time, Trigger Point Massage Therapy

can increase flexibility and range of motion and improve circulation. In conjunction with other modalities such as Myofacial release, Deep Tissue, and Hydrotherapy, Trigger Point Massage Therapy can be done effectively and enjoyably. Release of a trigger point itself is painful. When the Massage Therapist gets a hold of a trigger point there is usually a surge of pain, but as the Massage Therapist holds on, the pain dissipates and the area relaxes and tension is relieved. What is occurring is constriction of blood flow to the area for about 15-30 seconds, and when released a rush of oxygen filled blood returns to the area, washing out toxins and restoring circulation. Trigger Point Massage Therapy requires great communication skills and advanced training in Neuromuscular and Trigger Point Therapy Massage. At Peace of Mind Therapeutic Massage and Wellness, our goal is to find those trigger points and safely and effectively treat them. We will always incorporate other modalities during a Trigger Point Massage Therapy session to achieve optimum comfort and results.
