Trigger Point Therapy
At Here’s the Rub Massage Therapy in Columbia, SC, trigger point therapy is designed to address pain within tight, sensitive muscle knots, known as trigger points. This is the exact location where your pain stems from. These small areas of tension can cause discomfort locally or radiate pain to other parts of the body. By applying steady, focused pressure and a controlled release technique, trigger point therapy helps relax the muscle fibers, improve circulation, and restore movement.
We use this specific type of bodywork for clients dealing with chronic pain, tension headaches, or tightness in the neck, shoulders, or lower back. We customize each treatment to your body, ensuring quick relief and sustained muscular health.
How Trigger Point Therapy Works
Trigger points often develop from overuse, stress, or poor posture. They create painful knots that limit your range of motion and make simple activities uncomfortable. During your session at Here’s the Rub Massage Therapy, the therapist identifies these areas by touch and applies controlled, sustained pressure to release the tension.
Once pressure is applied to the trigger point, the muscle begins to relax and circulation increases in the surrounding tissue. This process encourages oxygen and nutrients to flow into the area, helping the muscle recover naturally. The therapist may use a combination of direct pressure, stretching, and gentle movement to restore balance and flexibility.
Many of our clients notice an immediate decrease in joint pain, which is then followed by continued improvement over the next couple of days.
Benefits of Trigger Point Massage Therapy
Trigger point therapy offers a range of therapeutic benefits that go beyond surface relaxation. It is an effective treatment for both acute and chronic pain and can complement other massage techniques to speed up your recovery time.
Common benefits include:
- Relief from muscle tension and stiffness
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Reduction in chronic pain patterns
- Better posture and body alignment
- Increased blood flow and faster recovery
Whether you are an athlete, office worker, or work in manual labor, this therapy helps the body function and move more comfortably.
Combining Trigger Point Therapy with Other Treatments
Clients at Here’s the Rub Massage Therapy often combine trigger point therapy with a stick massage or myofascial release for a more comprehensive session. These techniques work together to target both deep muscle fibers and the connective tissue around them.
Adding full-body hot stones can also enhance your experience, helping your muscles to relax more quickly while easing residual soreness. Each session can be customized to maximize your comfort level and therapeutic goals. Thus making it easy to find the right balance of intensity and relaxation.
