Trigger Point Therapy in San Diego
For the knots that keep coming back — and the referred pain they cause
That tight, tender spot that eases when you press it and returns a day later? Trigger point work addresses the spot — and, more importantly, the pattern that keeps recreating it.
Trigger points are focal areas of muscle holding more tension than the tissue around them. They're often tender, sometimes ropey, and they can refer sensation elsewhere — a spot in the shoulder contributing to headaches, or hip tension showing up down the leg.
The work is specific: sustained, appropriate pressure to help the area release, connected to the bigger picture of what keeps loading it. Releasing the spot helps; addressing the pattern is what makes it last.
Who This Is For
Recurring 'knots' in the neck, shoulders, or back
Referred pain — soreness that shows up away from its source
Tension headaches with a muscular component
Areas under repetitive daily or training load
Trigger point work is rarely a standalone session here — it's blended with deep tissue and myofascial techniques so the release connects to how you actually move and hold tension day to day.
