What is Trigger Point Therapy?

A trigger point is caused by muscles that do not relax, resulting in a knot or tight band of muscle that can twitch, irritate surrounding nerves, and cause pain elsewhere in the body. A trigger point in your lower back could cause pain in your neck. Trigger points are most commonly found in the back, shoulders, and neck, but they can appear in almost any skeletal muscle in the body. Because muscle tightness is linked to a variety of health issues, trigger point therapy has a wide range of applications. Trigger point therapy relieves pain, stiffness, and discomfort by releasing areas of tight, knotted muscles in your body. If you’re looking for pain relief, get in touch with Bod Medical to see if Trigger Point Therapy is right for you.

How Trigger Point Therapy Relieves Pain

Trigger point therapy is a hands-on treatment that focuses on relieving pain and discomfort caused by tight, knotted muscles known as trigger points. By applying targeted pressure, this therapy helps release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and restore normal movement. It is an effective solution for individuals experiencing chronic muscle pain, stiffness, or referred pain, and can enhance overall mobility and quality of life.

What to Expect Before Your Session

Before your first trigger point therapy session at Bod Medical, you’ll receive a thorough consultation to review your medical history and discuss your symptoms. Our specialists will assess your areas of discomfort and create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving a few minutes early to ensure a relaxed experience.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your session begins with a thorough evaluation by a Bod Medical specialist to identify the exact areas of muscle tension and trigger points. This assessment helps determine the most effective approach for your unique needs. By understanding your symptoms and medical history, we ensure a safe and customized treatment experience.

Your provider uses precise hands-on techniques to apply pressure directly to the identified trigger points. This targeted approach helps release muscle knots, reduce pain, and restore normal muscle function. The pressure is carefully adjusted to maximize comfort and effectiveness throughout the session.

As the trigger points are treated, you may feel a gradual decrease in muscle tightness and discomfort. Many patients notice immediate improvements in mobility and pain levels. The release of these knots also helps enhance circulation and promote the body’s natural healing process.

After your session, your provider may recommend gentle stretches, hydration, or follow-up appointments to maintain results. You’ll receive guidance on how to prevent future muscle knots and optimize your recovery. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Recovery and Aftercare Tips

What to Expect Immediately After

After your trigger point therapy session, you may notice mild soreness or tenderness in the treated areas. This is a normal response as your muscles adjust and begin to heal. Most clients experience improved mobility and reduced pain within a few hours to a day following treatment.

Managing Soreness and Discomfort

Applying ice or heat to the area can help reduce any lingering discomfort. Gentle stretching and staying hydrated are also recommended to support your body’s natural healing process. If soreness persists beyond a couple of days, consult your provider for further guidance.

Tips for Optimal Healing

To maximize your results, follow any exercise or self-care instructions given by your Bod Medical provider. Avoid strenuous activity for the first 24 hours to allow your muscles time to recover. Regular sessions may be suggested for lasting relief and ongoing improvement.

When to Resume Activities

Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, but it’s important to listen to your body. If you feel any discomfort, ease back into your routine gradually. Your provider will advise when it’s safe to resume more intense exercise or physical tasks.

When to Expect Relief

Most patients begin to notice reduced muscle tension and pain relief within a few hours to a day after their trigger point therapy session. For some, improvements may continue to develop over several days as the body heals and inflammation subsides. Lasting results often depend on the severity of the muscle knots and your individual response, with additional sessions sometimes recommended for optimal, sustained relief.
