Trigger Point Therapy In Vernon BC

Are you looking for trigger point therapy in Vernon BC? Trigger point therapy is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on identifying and releasing trigger points—also known as muscle "knots"—which are tight, sensitive areas in the muscle tissue that can cause pain. This pain can be experienced at the site of the knot or even in other parts of the body (referred pain). For instance, a trigger point in the low or mid-back could radiate pain and discomfort up to the shoulders and neck, or even the head. Common causes of trigger points include muscle overuse or strain, injury, poor posture or stress.

How Does Trigger Point Therapy Work in Vernon BC?

Trigger point therapy is designed to work on the nodule directly. Using fingers, knuckles, elbows, or even tools like a massage ball, your therapist will apply specific, controlled pressure to the nodule. After a few seconds of pressure, it is released. This can sometimes feel intense, but by relieving the trigger points in a muscle, the knot begins to loosen, blood flow improves, and pain may reduce. Patients often experience immediate relief following treatment. Controlled, deep breathing can help the patient navigate through any intense sensations as the trigger point is being released.
