Trigger Point Massage

What Is Trigger Point Massage?

Trigger point therapy is a neuromuscular therapy designed to speed up recovery from injury, correct muscular imbalances and relieve pain. Your physiotherapist will stretch the muscle and then apply pressure to areas of muscle tightness or 'knots'. This helps to relive muscle tension and promote healing.

How Does Trigger Point Therapy Work?

While there is no single type of massage labeled a “trigger point massage,” massage therapists can use a number of different techniques to loosen these knots, including myofascial release and deep tissue massage.

Massage works to release a trigger point by pushing fresh blood in and flushing waste material out. This helps relieve some of your pain by bringing more oxygen into the area and encouraging the muscles to release.

A couple years ago I herniated a disc in my lower back and could hardly walk when I first came to Alberta Spine and Sport. The chiropractors here had me back on my feet and feeling great in a few short months. Now I stick to a maintenance program and can carry on with my life! They’ve done wonders helping my son with foot pain too. All the staff here are so kind and professional, we’re lucky to have this practice in Okotoks!

I have been going to Shaun at Alberta Spine and Sport off and on for 5 years for Physiotherapy due to a couple of injuries I have and post surgery treatment. He has been excellent with his techniques of therapy and bedside manner. It is always a pleasure to see and speak with him and all the staff I have met. He has helped me a fair amount with my limited range of motion and listens to what you are experiencing and isn’t afraid to change techniques to find the right solution.
