Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy, sometimes called Neuro-Muscular-Therapy is an effective way to increase mobility and lessen pain in tense or overused muscles. During your massage, a "knot" or trigger point may be felt. Usually these occur in the back of the neck and shoulder areas. Once the size is determined i will apply pressure to it and alternate the pressure with massage. Within a few minutes most painful trigger points are deactivated. This type of treatment should never be painful. This technique makes a dramatic difference in sore muscles. Most therapist limit this type of therapy to deep tissue massages but if I feel bands of tension, even in a relaxation massage, I will ask you if you would like me to work on them, it is included in the price of your massage.
