1. Trigger Point Therapy for a Life Worth Living
Human bodies have not changed much in last 10,000 years, but since then we have
continuously made incredible changes in our day to day lifestyle. Due to our ever changing
lifestyle, our bodies have dealt with new sleep patterns, new drugs, chemicals, various
environmental changes along with a variety of unnatural stimulation which has lead
towards the increase in the psychological and physical stress. It is this stress of the
monotonous life and decrease of physical work that has contributed a great deal to the
chronic pain.
While it is incredibly tough to change lifestyle, there are various therapies which help to
reduce and ultimately let go of the chronic pain that has been ravaging our bodies from
years. Trigger Point Therapy, since the last decade, has become one of the most used and
liked therapies to get relieved from stress of day to day life. Used to diminish or eradicate
various kinds of pains, without drugs or surgery, Trigger point therapy is one of a kind
medical therapy.
This technique of myofascial or soft tissue release is generally taught as a massage
technique due to its efficiency in treating long as well as short term body and muscle pain,
numbness or body immobilization. From recurring injuries and overexertion to pain from
accidental falls or hasty jerking movements, various movements act as a trigger point of
long term chronic pain which causes the start of pain, inflexibility and discomfort in
muscles and body.

2. A “trigger point” is a firm area surrounded by muscle tissue that is the root cause of pain in
other parts of the body. A trigger point in the back will create pain
in the neck. The neck acts as a satellite trigger point and
causes aches in the head. The pain can either be sharp and
intense or a dull.
This therapy is particularly planned to assuage the basis of
the pain with the series of remote pressure and release. The
receiver enthusiastically contributes by deep breathing and
recognizing the precise position and strength of the
distress.
The consequence and advantage of trigger point massage is
that the constricted area in which the pain is present is massaged and
placed pressure on in order to alleviate and release the pain. An individual would be able to
feel a considerable reduction in pain after one therapy session. Receiving a trigger point
therapy massage on a regular basis helps to naturally handle persistent pain and stress
from injuries.
