What's a trigger point?

The trigger point is a small muscle spasm that is often felt like a knot or small ball and that reacts painfully to pressure.

When a muscle tightens, it strengthens up to the fibre level. Normally a muscle loosens and relaxes completely. If the muscle cramps instead, however, the smallest muscle fiber areas, the so-called sarcomeres, remain hard.

This creates a trigger point. This tension does not only have a local effect, but the pain also manifests itself in distant areas of the body. For example, pain may be caused by pain points in the abdominal muscles.

What are the causes of trigger points?

• One-sided posture
• Inactivity
• Overstrain
• Care posture

Trigger points occur primarily when the muscles are acutely or chronically overloaded. This can happen if you repeatedly perform the same movements or adopt the same postures at work or at home. For example, if you have to sit, stand or walk around on a hard surface all at once.

Ungünstig is always affected by any form of lack of exercise. The nervous system and musculature need regular exercise to stay healthy and adaptable.

Micro tensions are also caused by acute overloading of the body. For example, when lifting heavy objects in an unusual way, or when making a sudden unusual movement in the context of an accident. Injuries to bones, tissues and/or joints also lead to postures of protection and, as a result, to overloading of healthy body parts. As a result, the cramps become stronger and stronger, leading to prolonged tension which prevents the muscles from being supplied with sufficient oxygen and nutrients.

Another cause of painful selective tension is one-sided postures. In general, any form of overloading of the muscle fibres can lead to precisely those locally limited hard tension nodes with their fatal long-distance effects.

The undersupply of nutrients and oxygen and the poor removal of metabolic products make the trigger point increasingly sensitive and painful. It is important to break this cycle.

How does trigger point therapy help?

• Devolution of metabolites
• local strongly improved blood circulation up to 500%

When treating pain, the therapist looks for the most pain-sensitive area in the loaded muscle. This is often the place where the nerve enters the muscle. The therapist puts strong pressure on the so-called trigger point and hits or circles the affected area with his fingers. Thus the masseur stimulates the metabolism.

In the ideal case, the muscle is completely supplied with blood again after the treatment and can relax. The better this succeeds, the more the pain in the affected area is reduced. A concluding massage of the entire body part deepens the relaxation. Finally, it must be mentioned that trigger point therapy is often painful. It brings relief without side effects.
