Trigger points are sensitive areas of muscle that can occur in small knots in certain areas of the body. These knots are usually very tender to the touch. They can also cause muscle spasms or limited movement in the joints. There are many different kinds of trigger points.
- Active Trigger Points are actively causing pain in the area of the point or referring the pain to another area of the body.
- Latent Trigger Points exist, but do not cause pain unless pressure is put on the point.
- Key Trigger Points can be tender to the touch as well. They cause and perpetuate other trigger points such as Satellite Trigger Points.
- Satellite Trigger Points are made active by key trigger points and can usually be resolved by treating the Key Trigger Point that has activated it.
Some things that could cause trigger points to arise are poor posture, an injury/accident or even trauma from birth.
Trigger Point Therapy is the technique of using pressure to relieve muscle pain.
