💆‍♀️ Understanding Trigger Points: What Those Knots Really Mean

We’ve all felt them... those small, tight “knots” in our muscles that can be tender to touch and sometimes cause pain in other areas of the body too. These are known as trigger points, and they form when muscle fibres become tense and contracted, often from overuse, poor posture, stress, or injury. 🤕

When left untreated, trigger points can restrict movement, reduce circulation, and create referred pain — meaning the ache you feel somewhere else in your body might actually start from a tight spot in your muscles.

Massage therapy works to release these areas by increasing blood flow, softening the surrounding tissue, and calming the nervous system. Over time, this helps restore normal muscle function, ease discomfort, and improve flexibility. Regular treatments not only reduce pain but can also prevent new trigger points from forming by keeping your muscles healthy and balanced.

🌿 If you’re feeling those stubborn knots or noticing ongoing tension, it might be time to book in for a massage and give your muscles the release they need.
