Trigger points, also known as muscle knots, are areas of tightness within a muscle that can cause pain, discomfort, and restricted movement. These points can develop due to overuse, poor posture, stress, or injury, and are often sensitive to touch. Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to these points to release tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. By addressing trigger points, individuals can experience relief from muscle pain, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and chronic pain conditions.
