Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy at O‘ahu Sports Massage
Trigger Point Therapy at O‘ahu Sports Massage targets the underlying sources of muscular pain that restrict mobility and performance. This focused technique identifies and releases hyper-tight muscle fibers—known as trigger points—that often refer pain to other areas of the body. By applying controlled, sustained pressure, we relieve tension, restore movement, and help retrain the muscle to function optimally.
Key Facts About Our Trigger Point Therapy
- Focuses on pain referral patterns – Trigger points can cause discomfort far from the actual source; we address the root cause, not just the symptom.
- Uses slow, controlled pressure – Allows the muscle to release without force, creating lasting change in tissue function.
- Highly effective for chronic pain – Especially beneficial for the neck, shoulders, upper back, hips, and jaw.
- Improves muscular balance & movement – Restores proper biomechanics and reduces compensations in surrounding areas.
- Educational and empowering – Clients learn how their muscles work and how to maintain improvements between sessions.
