Trigger Point Massage

What Is Trigger Point Massage?

Trigger point therapy is a neuromuscular therapy designed to speed up recovery from injury, correct muscular imbalances and relieve pain. Your physiotherapist will stretch the muscle and then apply pressure to areas of muscle tightness or 'knots'. This helps to relive muscle tension and promote healing.

How Does Trigger Point Therapy Work?

While there is no single type of massage labeled a “trigger point massage,” massage therapists can use a number of different techniques to loosen these knots, including myofascial release and deep tissue massage.

Massage works to release a trigger point by pushing fresh blood in and flushing waste material out. This helps relieve some of your pain by bringing more oxygen into the area and encouraging the muscles to release.

I have always received the best treatment at Alberta Spine and Sport. From the time you walk in, the front desk ladies are always so professional and happy. Dr Hickey is the best Chiropractor I've ever seen and I've been dealing with a severely bad back for approx 30 years!

I have been going to Alberta Spine and Sport for a few years now and I could not be happier  with the treatment  I have recieved, whether it be physio or chiropractic. I have had two shoulder surgeries and have gained full range of motion and strength due to the amazing physiotherapist I have worked with.

This past June I had to have a partial knee replacement and again I achieved full range of motion, thanks to the awesome Physiotherapist I work with.

From the moment you walk through the door and are greeted by the ladies at the front desk, you know you are in good hands, and will recieve top notch care.
I would/will never go anywhere else.
