Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to specific muscle knots that refer pain elsewhere in the body

Muscle tightness from fatigue, accidents, chronic stress, or slouched sitting positions can create trigger points that send pain signals to other zones

Begin your treatment by pinpointing the exact location causing your pain

Pay attention to where you feel pain and trace it back to the muscle that may be causing it

Common areas include the shoulders, neck, lower back, and hips

You can target the point with your hands, a lacrosse ball, or a specialized trigger point tool

Intensity should never exceed a 7 out of 10 on the discomfort scale

Hold the pressure for half a minute to a full minute for optimal release

Some tenderness is normal, but acute or shooting pain means you’re pressing too hard

With sustained pressure, the knot often releases, and the referred pain gradually dims

Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale fully through your mouth as you press

This helps your muscles relax and increases blood flow to the area

Follow up with a slow, controlled stretch to maintain the release

For example, if you worked on your shoulder, slowly roll your shoulder forward and backward to encourage movement

Apply pressure 2–3 times daily, particularly post-exercise or during flare-ups

Small, frequent treatments are far more effective than sporadic, forceful ones

With daily care, knots gradually dissolve and pain frequency decreases

Hydration, ergonomic habits, and movement variety support long-term muscle health
