Myofascial Trigger Point Massage with Stretching
A form of deep tissue massage.
Muscles harbouring trigger points may be too painful to stretch fully. The pain (and subsequent inhibitory reflex) will prevent you from sufficiently lengthening the muscle band.
What's more, forcing a stretch will often result in injury (muscle strain) and do nothing to resolve the trigger point.
The objective of trigger point therapy is softening and releasing a muscle knots to reduce or eliminate the knot pain and associated pain.
This release is achieved by applying varying levels of pressure to muscle knots, and then stretching the affected areas through a complete range of motion.
The therapist will manually move your limbs, applying gentle stretches to restore mobility.
This type of massage is particularly well suited to those who have developed chronic pain from long hours of sitting at a desk and are not stretching regularly.
