How does trigger point therapy release muscles?

Trigger points are small nodules in the muscle that induce a spasm cycle that can be undone by releasing the trigger point. Pressure is applied to the trigger point and the client usually feels referred pain somewhere else than where the pressure is being applied. A series of gradually increasing amounts of pressure are applied to the trigger point by the massage therapist until it 'dissolves' and then stretching is used to help flush the area.The way you know you have a trigger point is if pain is referred elsewhere. This can mean a headache in the front of the head, which is usually referred by the trapesius muscles. Headaches can also be caused by SCM (in the neck). That's why if you've had a relaxation massage and have a headache after, a trigger point was likely activated and not released. (Trigger point was activated, and then pain is referred to another area)After trigger point therapy it is normal to feel sore around the area for a day or two. Drinking a lot of water and taking epson salt baths can help.
