Trigger Point Therapy
Targeted pressure techniques to release muscle knots, reduce pain, and restore natural movement.
Trigger Point Therapy on the Central Coast
Trigger points, often referred to as “muscle knots,” are highly sensitive areas within muscle tissue that can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. When pressed, they may radiate discomfort to other parts of the body — a phenomenon known as referred pain.
These points often develop due to muscle overuse, poor posture, repetitive strain, inflammation, or injury. Over time, they can contribute to chronic pain and ongoing tension that affects daily activities.
At Central Coast Massage Therapy, we use precise, focused techniques to locate and release these trigger points, helping restore muscle function and ease discomfort.
