What Is Trigger Point Massage?
Trigger point massage is a highly specific therapeutic technique that targets myofascial trigger points — tight, hypersensitive nodules within muscle fibers that cause localized pain and, crucially, referred pain in other parts of the body. A trigger point in your upper back, for example, can cause headaches; one in your hip can send pain down your leg.
The therapist locates trigger points through skilled palpation, then applies sustained pressure (typically 7-10 seconds) until the knot releases. This may cause brief discomfort followed by immediate relief as the muscle fiber relaxes. Combined with stretching and movement work, trigger point therapy can resolve pain patterns that have persisted for months or years.

Trigger Point Massage in Eindhoven
Trigger point therapy is highly sought after in Eindhoven, where countless professionals develop myofascial trigger points from hours of focused work at ASML, DAF Trucks, and tech startups. These painful knots in the muscles refer pain to other areas and can cause headaches, shoulder stiffness, and reduced mobility. Our specialized therapists travel to your home in Woensel or Tongelre to locate and release these trigger points with precise, sustained pressure.

Local Tip
Drink plenty of water after trigger point therapy and apply a warm compress to treated areas — this helps flush out metabolic waste and speeds up the healing process.
