Trigger Point Therapy

Maybe you've heard of the term Trigger Point Therapy before, maybe you have not. In either case now you are certainly interested as to what it is. Trigger Points are small areas of muscle stiffness (about the size of a pea or mustard seed massage dongguan). These are the consequence of tiny contraction knots that develop in muscle and tissue when an area of the body is injured or over-worked. Trigger Points are something most common doctors ignore, but they could be the one thing which has been overlooked in your case for several years, if not decades. A hallmark of these painful points is something known as "referred" pain. This means that they usually send their pain to some other place in the body, which is the reason traditional treatments for pain often fail. Many health care practitioners mistakenly presume that the problem is located where the pain is and therefore are not able to assess the body accurately to get to the reason behind your pain.

Just one event can activate a trigger point, and you could suffer the effects throughout your lifetime if that point isn't attended to properly. Your body's instinctive reaction to a harmful "event" is to safeguard itself. It does that by modifying the way you move, sit, or stand, which in turn puts unnatural stress on your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This generates strength and flexibility imbalances in your muscles, along with postural dysfunctions throughout your body. Trigger points may bring on headaches, neck and jaw pain, low back pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome - you name it. They are the source of joint pain in the shoulder, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle that is typically mistaken for arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or ligament injury.
