What is a trigger point?
Trigger points are painful points that can occur all over the body. They feel like lumps or muscle knots. Trigger points also often cause pain when stretching a muscle at the end of the range of motion. Which may cause you to move little and prefer not to stretch the muscle to avoid pain. Blood flow in the small blood vessels around the trigger points decreases. This makes the supply of nutrients to the muscle difficult and, at the same time, waste products cannot easily leave. Other muscles will take over the work of the weakened muscle. Which allows the next group of muscles to develop trigger points as well. That is how you end up in a vicious cycle that must be broken.
How does a trigger point develop?
Trigger points can occur in many ways. Of great influence are factors such as prolonged stress, an incorrect work posture, an injury, unhealthy lifestyle habits, improper nutrition, overuse, an accident, or just due to underuse (immobilization). Using a combination of the various treatment methods ensures results and rapid improvement.
