Trigger points can set off pain from one area of the body into another, such as from the foot or ankle into the lower leg. The pain can vary from sharpness to a dull ache and can cause your muscles to tighten and spasm.
When muscles are over used trigger points can form throughout your body, which require a special form of treatment known as trigger point therapy
This therapy can form part of any massage treatment should you require it. As the body is constantly moving it is easy for it to become out of sync. The points that are painful will either be released through direct pressure or with acupuncture or low level laser therapy should this be necessary.

Trigger point therapy is a wonderful massage treatment which helps to eliminate your discomfort.
