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!
