Trigger Point Therapy
A trigger point is an area of hypersensitivity that can be found along a muscle due to unnesecary excess contraction of that muscle. Trigger Points may be found in the same spots along the muscle of every human body, although it requires excess amount of tension in the muscle for the Trigger Point to be active. Often the pain felt in one region may just be a referral from another trigger point found in a completely different part of the body. By applying preasure to the trigger point, the pain may be reduced and the tension may as well release.
