What to Expect During Trigger Point Therapy Sessions?
Although the timing could vary, these sessions go on for an hour. The first session usually takes slightly longer as the practitioner would do through general questions about your health and related issues. Trigger points are also identified during then.
During the therapy, the practioner would exert pressure on the trigger points with their hands. Although the fingers and knuckles are adequate to exert pressure, special trigger point therapy tools are also utilized at times. Do not hesitate to speak out on how much discomfort you feel when pressure is applied on a specific trigger point, so the therapist can massage that area accordingly. After applying pressure, the practioner would help you stretch your muscles to prevent them from tightening up again. The pain decreases in intensity as the session goes on. After multiple sessions, you will feel a significant difference.
Always go to a trusted medical facility with a certified trigger point therapists or myotherapists, or get a referral from your doctor
