| Trigger points are areas in muscle fibers that become short, tight and uncomfortable. If you have a knot or tight area that keeps coming back, it’s probably a trigger point. Trigger points are often a result of trauma, injury or overuse. Left untreated these trigger points can cause serious problems with pain and movement and posture. Trigger point therapy is also used treat chronic headaches, muscle tension, and fibromyalgia. |
