This is a modality that deals with a specific area of the muscle, a point where the muscle holds tension. To release these ‘points’ therapists use static pressure with elbows, knuckles or fingers depending on location and accessibility.

Trigger points occasionally refer to other parts of the body and assist in ‘mapping out’ effected structures. Trigger Point Therapy is a lot like acupuncture but without the needles and can bring instant relief for headaches.
