Trigger points

A trigger point is a muscle knot that hurts somewhere other than where it sits. That is why people so often look for the pain in the wrong place.

Referred pain

A point in the trapezius can trigger a headache. A point in the glute can hurt down the leg. Treating the point means treating the cause.

How it is treated

Sustained, progressive pressure on the point until the tension gives way. The sensation is intense but brief.

The result

Release is often immediate and noticeable as soon as the pressure lifts.

How the session works

I palpate to locate the active points — you recognise them instantly when I press. I then apply sustained pressure for a few tens of seconds per point, followed by a gentle stretch of the area.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it hurt elsewhere?

That is referred pain: the contracted muscle sends a signal the brain localises elsewhere. It is well documented and mapped.

Does it come back?

If the postural or functional cause remains, yes. That is why I always give maintenance advice.

Is it a separate treatment?

Most often trigger points are integrated into a therapeutic massage session rather than treated in isolation.

Other treatments

Therapeutic massageThis is not a relaxation massage. It is targeted manual work on the areas that are stuck: contractures, bound fascia, muscles that have been compensating for months.Cupping therapyCups create suction that lifts tissue instead of compressing it. That is what makes them effective where massage alone plateaus.Gua ShaGua Sha involves scraping the skin with a flat tool in a specific direction. The effect is superficial but powerful on circulation and fascia.Sports massage & recoveryBefore effort to prepare, after it to recover. The work is more dynamic than a classic massage and targets the muscle groups your sport actually loads.Osteopathic mobilisationsWhen pain keeps returning to the same spot, a neighbouring joint has often lost its mobility. Mobilisations give movement back to the level that is stuck.PressotherapyCompression boots inflate in sequence, from foot to thigh. They restart venous and lymphatic return — where manual massage cannot work as consistently.Localised cryotherapyIntense cold applied precisely to one area for a few minutes. The effect on pain and local inflammation is immediate.
