Trigger Point Therapy: Targeting Chronic Muscle Pain at Its Source

Chronic muscle tightness, stubborn knots, and radiating pain might all share one common cause—trigger points. At AHC Wellness Clinic in Mississauga, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) specialize in Trigger Point Therapy, a powerful, focused massage technique that identifies and releases muscle knots to provide fast, lasting relief.

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots in tight muscle fibers that can cause localized pain or refer pain to other areas of the body. Common symptoms include:

• Neck, shoulder, or lower back pain
  
  
• Tension headaches
  
  
• Sciatica or radiating pain down the legs or arms
  
  
• Reduced range of motion or muscle stiffness
  
  
• Muscle weakness and fatigue
  
  

Trigger points often develop due to poor posture, stress, overuse injuries, or repetitive movements—especially in office workers, athletes, and individuals with physical demands on their body.

How Trigger Point Therapy Works

Trigger Point Therapy uses deep tissue massage, sustained pressure, and stretching techniques to:

• Release muscle knots
  
  
• Improve blood circulation
  
  
• Restore muscle length and mobility
  
  
• Reduce inflammation and pain sensitivity
  
  
• Prevent future muscular imbalances
  
  

Unlike general relaxation massage, this treatment targets specific problem areas, often combining deep tissue, myofascial release, and stretch therapy to break pain cycles.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy

• Immediate pain relief and increased mobility
  
  
• Long-term improvement in chronic muscle conditions
  
  
• Improved posture and body alignment
  
  
• Reduced dependency on pain medications
  
  
• Enhanced sports performance and injury prevention
