Understanding Trigger Points
🎯 What Exactly Is a Trigger Point?
A trigger point is a hyperirritable spot within a muscle that can cause pain locally or refer pain elsewhere.
Examples:
- Upper trapezius trigger points may cause headaches.
- Gluteal trigger points may mimic sciatica symptoms.
- Pectoral trigger points can create discomfort into the shoulder and arm.
Massage therapy helps:
✔ Increase blood flow
✔ Reduce muscular tension
✔ Improve range of motion
✔ Decrease pain patterns
Learning trigger point referral patterns can completely change the way you assess and treat clients.
Have you ever found a trigger point that surprised you?
