Trigger point therapy is performed by putting and holding pressure on your trigger points.
This temporarily cuts off circulation to the tissue, which raises levels of a chemical in the tissues called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals your body to open up microcapillaries (extremely small blood vessels), thus increasing blood flow to help break up the trigger point and end the pain-spasm-pain cycle.
Another technique called myofascial release may also be helpful for your muscle knots and trigger points.
Myofascial release is a type of massage thought to help properly align the fascia surrounding your muscles. This can help improve circulation and normal movement of your muscles.
