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.

Great deep tissue massage from Savanah. No napping during this treatment, but she did a great job addressing some back/shoulder issues that have been building up over time. A little sore for a couple of days, but already seeing the benefits. I will be back!

I just finished a treatment plan with Dr. Hicke and Dr. Robertson, and feel like I was given a new body!  I have suffered from mild but chronic back and knee pain for years, and thought this was just something you have to live with if you spend most of your working hours on a computer, until I went to see Dr. Hicke who suggested an ART treatment plan to resolve the issues permanently.  After 4 weeks my back and knee pain is gone, I have significantly more mobility and flexibility and just overall feel so much better.  I should have done this years ago!  The facility is nice and modern, and the reception staff are very helpful and friendly.  I would highly recommend Alberta Spine and Sport to anyone looking for outstanding chiropractic care.
