Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a focused manual therapy technique that targets specific muscle knots—commonly known as trigger points—that cause localized pain and discomfort, or refer pain to other areas of the body. These hyperirritable spots in the muscle tissue can lead to chronic tension, reduced mobility, and ongoing pain if left untreated.
At M7 Wellness, our hands-on approach helps deactivate these trigger points, restoring comfort and function through precise, patient-centered treatment.

How It Works
- Identifying the exact location of the trigger points
- Applying direct, sustained pressure to the knot using fingers, knuckles, or elbows
- Releasing muscle tightness and increasing blood circulation
- Restoring the normal length and tone of the affected muscle
The therapist may also use stretching or myofascial techniques alongside trigger point release for deeper relief.
This therapy is ideal for:
Who It’s For
- Individuals experiencing chronic muscle pain or tightness
- Clients with tension headaches or referred pain (e.g., shoulder pain from neck knots)
- People with overuse injuries or repetitive strain conditions
- Anyone with limited range of motion or muscle stiffness
- Athletes or workers with localized muscular stress
Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy
- Relieves chronic pain caused by muscular knots
- Reduces referred pain and improves muscle function
- Restores flexibility and range of motion
- Breaks the pain-tension cycle in targeted muscle groups
- Enhances performance and reduces injury risk for active individuals
What to Expect in a Session
Trigger Point Therapy sessions involve a thorough assessment followed by targeted manual pressure to the identified knots. The therapist will:
- Palpate muscle tissue to locate trigger points
- Apply slow, deep, and sustained pressure directly on the knot
- Ask for feedback to gauge pressure and effectiveness
- Combine with stretching or passive release techniques as needed
You may feel some discomfort during pressure application—this is normal and usually followed by a noticeable sense of relief.
