Is trigger point therapy painful?

Pressure can feel intense, but it should stay within a 'good pain' range. Always tell your therapist if it is too much.

How many sessions will I need?

Some people feel relief after one session; persistent knots may need several. Your therapist will advise you.

Can I combine it with another massage?

Yes – it is often blended into deep tissue or back massage sessions.

Therapeutic & Pain Relief

Trigger Point Therapy in Islamabad

Precise pressure for stubborn muscle knots

Trigger points are tight, tender spots in a muscle – the 'knots' you can feel under your fingers. They can also cause discomfort elsewhere; a knot in the shoulder, for example, may feel like an ache up the side of the neck.

Trigger point therapy uses precise, sustained pressure to help these spots release. At Belvie Spa F-7/4 it is often combined with deep tissue massage for a thorough, focused session.

History & Origins

The History of Trigger Point Therapy

The idea of tender 'knots' in muscles was described by physicians in the 19th century, but trigger point therapy is most closely linked to American physician Dr Janet Travell.

From the 1940s onward, Travell mapped common trigger points and their patterns of referred pain. Her two-volume manual with Dr David Simons, first published in 1983, remains a key reference for therapists.

How Trigger Point Therapy Works

Your therapist locates trigger points by touch and applies steady pressure for several seconds until the tissue begins to soften. This is followed by strokes and stretches to help the muscle relax and lengthen.

Key techniques

Palpation to locate tender points
Sustained ischemic compression
Stripping strokes along the muscle
Gentle stretching after release
