Trigger Point Therapy: Unlocking Tension and Discomfort
What is Trigger Point Massage?
Trigger point massage is a specialized form of massage therapy focused on releasing tension from specific muscle groups and areas of your body. It uses techniques such as pressure, active release, myofascial trigger point release, neuromuscular therapy, and static stretching to target the trigger points in the underlying muscles. This helps to alleviate pain, improve mobility, restore posture, and reduce stress. Trigger point massage can also help with chronic pain-related conditions such as fibromyalgia and sciatica.
Understanding Trigger Point Release Techniques
Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure with the fingertips, elbows, or other tools to specific areas that contain trigger points. This helps reduce muscle tightness, inflammation, and pain. It can also improve mobility, flexibility, and range of motion in the targeted areas. Trigger point release techniques are an effective way to help manage chronic pain and tension in the body.

Laramae is a thorough and skilled RMT. I have a fairly complicated collection of injuries but she wasn't intimidated by it and dove right in. She provided me with a follow up exercise which I really appreciated. I found making an appointment simple and her location easy to find. I will definitely be going back.
