Trigger Point Therapy (Myofascial Release Technique)

How Does Trigger Point Therapy Work?

Trigger Points are uses to release tendinomuscular lines that hold dysfunction or create pain in the body. Deep pressure to relieve a knotted are encourages increased blood flow and breaks up scar tissue. It can also release any build up of toxic or necrotic tissues.

During this type of therapy, the body undergoes a neurological release, reducing the pain signals to the brain.

How Long it Takes to Get Relief

The length of time it takes to release a trigger point depends on several factors. One major factor is how long the patient has had their knotted point. Other factors include: the number of trigger points they have, how effective their current treatment is, and how consistently they receive treatment. Combining trigger point therapy with acupuncture and exercise protocols shortens the length of treatment time substantially.
