Trigger Point Therapy in Clearwater

Are you looking for a licensed, experienced massage therapist who is highly familiar with trigger point techniques? At Reflections Therapeutic Massage, you can reap all the benefits of trigger point therapy with our skilled massage therapists. If you have painful knots in your back or neck, trigger point massage therapy is just what you need. It may help release tension to restore range of motion, relieve headaches, help with posture, and more! 

What is trigger point therapy?

Trigger point therapy is a massage therapy technique that is specifically intended to treat knots. Knots are sensitive areas that often feel tense or hard to the touch. Oftentimes, they cause referred pain and the surrounding muscle may twitch when you press on a knot. If you have had muscle knots, you know that they can be painful and get in the way of your normal range of motion. 

Trigger point release or trigger point therapy focuses mainly on the fascia, which is a sheath-like fibrous tissue that surrounds and protects the structures within your musculoskeletal system. The fascia is normally flexible, but stress or injury can cause the fascia to become stiff and tense, forming muscle knots or trigger points. This will naturally restrict movement of the connective tissues and cause pain, increased risk of injury, and reduced mobility.

A massage therapist who is trained in trigger point therapy can get to the bottom of this problem by applying the right amount and type of pressure to the knot until they feel the tension releasing. This is known as “deactivating trigger points.”

How can trigger point therapy benefit me?

Trigger point therapy can benefit anyone with muscle knots in their back, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body. By relieving that tension and pressure, your massage therapist can help your muscles and fascia relax and heal.

Benefits include restoring your full range of motion, reducing aches and pains within the muscle and surrounding tissue, and reducing the risk of further pain or damage. Some people also find that it helps with posture, headache relief, and more!

What is the process like?

Much like other types of massage therapy, trigger point therapy will start with a brief consultation with your massage therapist where you talk about your areas of pain and goals for the session. Then, you will lie on the massage table under a sheet while your massage therapist targets your trigger points using hand pressure.

Absolutely incredible massage! My fiancée had a massage with Layla and said that her muscles just melted away the whole time… I had a massage with Ellen, and had very specific pain points that I wanted to be addressed and she absolutely nailed all of them. Ellen’s incredibly kind, has phenomenal massage technique, and listens to how you react if the pressure is too much or too little. We had wonderful conversation during the massage that made me feel nothing but comfortable. Wish we weren't on vacation so we could go back for another!

New review: 10-25-23 I made a first available appt and was paired up with Mishay. I was having a lot of neck, shoulder and upper back pain from work and needed some relief. She gave me the most amazing massage I’ve ever had! She was so knowledgeable and located all of my pain points plus some that weren’t flaired up. Her pressure was perfect and her technique was outstanding! I felt incredible when I left. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be going back to see her specifically!!

First timer & now it won’t be my last! I don’t typically do massages, but I wanted to try the lymph node massage for my congestion and overall detox health. I booked my friend and I a massage for her 30th, we showed up 15 min late (gave a heads up) they were very accommodating & polite about it. The massage felt amazing, instantly relaxing and cleared my congestion. Easy place to drive by and not pay attention to - but I definitely recommend going inside and checking them out! Nice clean and relaxing place 🙂

Nicole was amazing. Asked if I had any issues and where I thought I needed work. I was able to golf the next day without the back pain I had been experiencing. Best deep tissue massage I've had!!!
