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 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.

I started seeing Dr. Paul Hickey for ART and Chiropractic services back in March of 2024, after being referred by Shaun, one of AISST’s Physio Therapists that I have seen for over 5 years. I have dealt with over a decade of work related injuries and post surgery issues and was asked if I would want to try ART to see if it would help me out. It has been amazing to be treated by a team that truly cares and researches into trying to find the issues and resolutions if possible! Not many health care practitioners of any kind do this anymore!! I have fairly complex injuries and they have helped tremendously with many aspects of my injuries, not only physically but also mentally as dealing with soft tissue injuries you are rarely believed as to what you are dealing with and generally swept under the covers so to speak. Having someone listen, understand and want to figure out what the problem is as opposed to pushing drugs to mask the problems, is an amazing thing for the whole body!!
