Targeted manual techniques for areas of muscular tension and tenderness

Choose Your PractitionerWhat Is Trigger Point Release?
A trigger point refers to an area of heightened sensitivity within a muscle that may be tender on palpation and may be associated with referred sensations in other areas. Trigger point techniques involve applying sustained, direct pressure to these areas. Whether trigger point techniques are incorporated into your session depends on your individual assessment and presentation. Not all muscular pain is caused by trigger points, and your therapist will assess your presentation before selecting appropriate techniques.
