Trigger Point massage is a common massage therapy technique that focuses on specific areas of the body using a combination of strategic positioning and specific pressure from the fingers and thumb. The trigger points targeted by this method are areas located in the skeletal muscle that produce pain when compressed, usually formed after a muscle fiber trauma has occurred.
Trigger point massage loosens up tight areas—such as the neck, lower back, and shoulders, which are commonly affected by stress and discomfort—and helps with relaxation.
