💢 What Is Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger point therapy involves applying focused pressure to knots in the muscle tissue that refer pain to other areas. These "trigger points" can cause chronic tightness, limited motion, and tension headaches. By treating these spots directly, we help restore balance and mobility.


Who Needs Trigger Point Massage?

This type of massage is ideal for clients in Totem Lake and Bothell dealing with:

  • Stubborn knots in the neck, shoulder, or upper back ("Tech Neck").


  • Tension headaches or migraines caused by muscle tightness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:What are trigger points?

Trigger points are tight bands of muscle fibers (knots) that feel like peas or lumps under the skin. They often cause pain in other parts of the body (referred pain).

Question 2: Does trigger point therapy hurt?

It involves firm pressure, which can feel like "good pain." You may feel a bit of discomfort as the knot releases, but we always communicate to stay within your comfort zone.

Question 3: Is this massage deep tissue?

It is similar, but more focused. While Deep Tissue works on general layers, Trigger Point targets specific spots within the muscle.

Question 4: How many sessions do I need?

For chronic knots, we usually recommend a series of 3-5 sessions spaced a week apart to fully release the tension pattern.
