Trigger points can be found all over the body and are usually associated with pain or discomfort when palpated. The effect can be felt either directly in the muscle being pressed, or as referred soreness in other areas of the body. In massage the aim is to compress and stretch these trigger points to encourage added blood flow to the affected areas. This increase in blood flow helps to release toxins and bring more energy to the areas being treated, promoting healing.
