Trigger Point Therapy | Elevate Soft Tissue Therapy

Have you heard of them? Do you know what they are?

Trigger Points are small areas of painful or tender tissue, they can sometimes refer pain to a more distant area. Simons et al in 1999 define them as “exquisite areas of tenderness within a muscle”.

Modern Pain research has demonstrated that a feature of all chronic pain is the presence of localised areas of soft tissue dysfunction which promotes pain and distress in distant structures. Trigger Points can also alter normal patterns of movement efficiency too.

What causes them? There can be a number of reasons you may have trigger points in certain areas; such as persistent muscular contraction, strain or overuse. Trauma, prolonged immobility.

If you want your muscle tissue to feel more relaxed, improve your pain, range of movement and circulation we are committed to helping you.
