Do you suffer from annoying pain in specific areas? You probably have a trigger point or what many people refer to as a muscle knot.

Trigger point is a hyperirritable taught band of muscle fiber that causes pain. A trigger point is an indication that the body has experienced some form of physiological dysfunction, such as poor posture, repetitive mechanical stress, a mechanical imbalance such as legs of different lengths, or acute trauma. A unique feature of trigger points is that they almost always refer pain to other areas of the body. In the diagram below we can see how headaches can be a result of trigger points in neck and shoulder muscles.

Trigger point therapy can reduce pain, increase movement, and allow the muscles to soften, lengthen, and become stronger.
