Trigger Point Therapy is a manual intervention that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, known as trigger points. These are areas of muscle tissue that have become sensitive and can cause pain in other parts of the body. The therapy aims to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and reduce muscle tension by releasing the trapped muscles fibers and increasing blood flow.
