Myofascial Trigger Point Massage is a specialised treatment for pain caused by tight muscle knots, known as trigger points. These small, sensitive spots within the muscle and fascia can cause localised discomfort or refer pain to other areas of the body. Our experienced Cronulla massage therapists combine trigger point therapy with myofascial massage techniques to release knots, restore muscle function, and relieve pain.

• Assessment: Your therapist will locate and assess trigger points contributing to pain or restricted movement.
   
• Focused Pressure: Using firm, sustained pressure and gentle stretching, the therapist targets knots to encourage release.
   
• Use of Myofascial Balm: A light balm is applied to allow controlled pressure while still engaging the fascia.
   
• Sensation: You may feel tenderness at the trigger point, and in some cases, referral pain in another area of the body. This indicates the core source of your discomfort is being treated.
   
• Aftercare: Many clients experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and better posture. Some mild soreness may occur as muscles reset and heal.
   

Trigger point therapy involves steady, targeted pressure applied directly to muscle knots:

• Active Trigger Points – Cause ongoing pain even at rest and often create referral pain (for example, a trigger point in the shoulder may send pain down the arm). When pressure is applied, you may feel a familiar radiating pain — confirming the source of tension.
   
• Latent Trigger Points – Do not cause pain until pressed, but they limit flexibility, weaken muscles, and may become active over time. Releasing them improves movement and helps prevent future flare-ups.
   

The pressure may feel firm, achy, or slightly tender, but it is always applied gradually and within your comfort zone. Your therapist will adjust intensity based on your feedback to ensure effectiveness without unnecessary discomfort.
