CE Institute LLC: Trigger Point Therapy Definition & How Manual TP Therapy Treatment is Administered

Trigger point therapy is usually not an appointment by itself.  You rarely see a massage menu that says: Trigger Point Therapy (60 Minutes)

Trigger Point Therapy is commonly used in conjunction with other forms of bodywork including:

• Deep Tissue Work
• Sports Massage
• Prenatal Massage
• Neuromuscular Therapy
• Myofascial Release
• Hot Stone (could burn client)
• Physical & Occupational Therapy

The Mayo Clinic Defines a Trigger Point as:

“Sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse. These sensitive areas are called trigger points. A trigger point in a muscle can cause strain and pain throughout the muscle.”[i]
