What is a Trigger Point?<\/b><\/h2>\n


\nThe body’s muscles are wrapped in a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium. A trigger point is a hypersensitive nodule on the surface of the epimysium. Stimulating these trigger points through direct compression or muscle contractions can trigger local tenderness, a twitch response, or a \u201cjump sign\u201d (startled reaction). It can also cause referred pain, which is pain occurring some distance from the trigger point.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trigger points can occur for many reasons, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Aging<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Bad posture<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Overuse of muscles<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Lack of exercise<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Stress conditions, including psychological stress trauma, anxiety, and depression<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Insomnia<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Vitamin deficiencies, particularly B, C, D, iron and folic acid deficiencies<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Hypermobility and joint issues<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> Injury<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trigger points are mainly located in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips. They often cause tension headaches, joint pain, tinnitus, lower back pain, and a decreased range of leg motion.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is <\/b>Trigger Point Massage Therapy<\/b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n


\n“Trigger pointing” is an effective therapy technique that uses massage to treat, break up, and relax trigger points using the therapist\u2019s thumbs, elbows, forearms, or specific tools to apply direct pressure to known trigger points. The technique breaks the ongoing cycle of pain that keeps a muscle contracted and allows the muscle fibers to relax. The technique also increases blood circulation in the trigger point area. Traditional Thai massage also uses the same techniques and can be effective in treating and providing relief to trigger points.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Breaking the Cycle of Pain and Stiffness<\/b><\/h2>\n


\nTraditional Thai massage uses stretching, kneading, and applied pressure to break up muscle knots and extend the range of motion in ligaments and joints. The techniques used to treat muscle knots are the same as those used in trigger pointing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although applying pressure to specific points of the body may cause a moment of pain, it results in an easing of pain and stiffness that lasts long after the massage. Trigger points around joints can severely restrict the joint’s range of motion. Repeated massages on targeted trigger points near the joint can restore its range of motion and improve circulation around it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thai massage uses the same principles as yoga. Slowly stretching and kneading the ligaments, tendons, joints, and muscles increases the range of motion and suppleness of the tissues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies<\/a> on Thai massage have found that the traditional technique reduces back pain associated with myofascial trigger points in the upper back. Regular Thai massage can also effectively prevent trigger points from forming by keeping the muscles loose and supple.<\/span><\/p>\n
