Trigger points are sensitive areas in the muscle tissues that cause pain either in the localized area or referred pain to other areas of the body. Trigger point work uses pressure to to deactivate or reduce the pain and help alleviate the pain caused by it. Done correctly, the massage therapist will incorporate a style of breathing that elicits the release of the myofascial tissue surrounding the muscle.
