TPT is a highly effective technique commonly used to alleviate chronic pain and dysfunction. It is a technique that can be used alone or integrated with other modalities in a session. A trigger point is a firm, palpable, highly irritable spot found in a tight band of muscle fibers that is generally characterized by extreme tenderness. Commonly referred to as “knots,” trigger points are worked by applying direct pressure, deep gliding pressure, and stretching the effected area. Because this work can be particularly intense, we suggest incorporating this technique into your full body massage rather than just receiving trigger point therapy alone.

Why should I choose this style? If you have a tight spot in your back that just will not go away or suffer from chronic pain or weakness, this is the treatment for you. Have you carried that knot around with you for years? Does the knot in your back seem to radiate pain down your arm? TPT will help break up that tissue and encourage the body to heal.
