Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that addresses stabbing muscle pains which can occur at various points in the body. Trigger points are tiny tight nodules that form in muscles causing referred pain.

Direct pressure is applied to the trigger point area to alleviate muscle spasms, improve circulation, and releasing trigger points. Trigger point therapy often has positive benefits for sufferers from chronic pain because the therapy aims to eliminate painful areas, rather than treating surface tension or inflammation.
