Good for: Low back pain, other chronic pain/aches where source of pain is difficult to pinpoint, injury recovery, muscle spasms, and more.
Description: In Trigger Point therapy, pressure is applied on irritable spots found in the muscle to relieve pain and improve function of the affected area. In most cases the trigger points are a build-up of muscle and fascia (connective tissue lining the entire body) as a result of an injury. The technique is often combined with other forms of therapy (Swedish, Sports), but can be performed as a sole technique during the session.
