Trigger Point Massage



Overview
At Elira Mobile Massage Therapy, our trigger point massage service is focused on relieving tight muscle knots and areas of tension that can cause discomfort, stiffness, and referred pain throughout the body. This treatment targets specific pressure points within the muscles to help release tension and improve muscle function.
Trigger point massage is especially helpful for people dealing with chronic muscle tightness, stress-related tension, posture issues, or repetitive strain from daily activities. Our mobile massage service allows you to receive professional treatment in the comfort of your own home anywhere in the UK.
Helps relieve muscle knots and tightness
Trigger point massage focuses on specific areas of tension within the muscles to help reduce stiffness, discomfort, and restricted movement.
Reduces referred pain and muscle discomfort
Tight trigger points can cause pain in other areas of the body. This massage helps release those points and improve overall muscle comfort.
Improves flexibility and muscle function
By releasing tension in targeted muscles, trigger point massage can help improve movement, posture, and overall physical mobility.
What to Expect During Your Session
Your session begins with a short consultation to identify areas of tension, discomfort, or restricted movement. The massage focuses on applying controlled pressure to specific trigger points within the muscles.
Some areas may feel tender or intense during treatment, especially where tight knots are present, but the pressure is always adjusted to your comfort level.
The session may include stretching and targeted muscle work to help release built-up tension and improve mobility.

Try to keep meals light before your massage so your body feels comfortable and relaxed during treatment.
Wear loose and comfortable clothing
Comfortable clothing makes it easier to prepare for your session and helps you stay relaxed afterwards.
Inform your therapist about pain or injuries
