Trigger-Point technique

Deep-tissue

The most used technique that alleviates the modern “disease” of today’s civilization, which is most occurred  in the working population in the form of painful, palpable thickening of the muscles, the so-called, myogelosis – nodes, especially in the area of ​​the neck, shoulder blades and shoulders, caused by the inability of the blood flow to eliminate lactic acid from the tissue. As a result of deep precise acupressure on specific trigger points, it releases lactic acid, dilates blood vessels, and it is necessary for the client to hydrate as much as possible within 24-48 hours after applying this type of massage. It could achieve greater efficiency with a series of massages.

What is it?

 

The “knots” you frequently experience in your neck and shoulders are caused by hypertonic muscle fibers, which can develop through repetitive usage in a sedentary position (such as sitting at a computer all day). They ultimately become painful if left untreated. In order to restore a normal range of motion, massage can stretch the problematic tissue and de-tense the surrounding muscles. 

 

How does it work?

 

Massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on identifying and treating trigger points, or areas of muscles that are tight and painful when pressed. During the massage, the therapist will use different techniques to put pressure on the trigger point. The pressure should help release muscle tension and improve blood flow to the area. Massage can be an effective treatment for muscle pain and tension, and can also help improve range of motion and reduce the risk of muscle injury. It is usually performed on certain parts of the body, such as the neck, back or shoulders.

 

What does it target?

 

A neuromuscular technique is trigger point release, where it finds specific points of discomfort and holds down until it feels the muscle release underneath. This helps to loosen tight muscles, restore circulation and reduce specific areas of nerve over-excitation.

The aim is to rebalance the muscle groups and work along specific lines of muscle movement. So if you come in with wrist pain we may also treat your neck; if you have tight calves we might also take a look and treat your lower back, because our whole body is connected.
