Trigger point therapy is a special treatment method in physiotherapy that aims to ease pain caused by so-called myofascial trigger points. Trigger points are locally confined, pressure-sensitive hardenings in the skeletal muscles from which pain can radiate into other body regions.

For example, trigger points in the shoulder and neck area can cause headaches, or trigger points in the buttocks can lead to leg pain. Causes for the development of trigger points can include poor posture, overload, lack of exercise or injuries.

In trigger point therapy, the hardened muscle points are treated with targeted manual techniques such as pressure or friction massage. The goal is to release the hardenings, improve circulation and ease the pain. The treatment can be painful at first but usually leads to rapid pain reduction.

In addition to manual therapy, acupressure, dry needling (needle insertion without injection) or the injection of local anaesthetics into the trigger point can be used. In the long term, however, the triggering factors such as poor posture or muscular imbalances should also be addressed to prevent the trigger points from recurring.

Which treatment is appropriate depends on the individual findings, your personal situation and, where applicable, your doctor's diagnosis. Courses of treatment and outcomes vary from person to person. No specific effect or treatment result can be guaranteed.
