What are Trigger Points?

  • A trigger point is a hyperirritable knot within a muscle.

    Trigger Points cause pain, either in the location of the knot or they refer pain to other areas of the body.

    Trigger points are either active or latent.

    Active trigger points cause pain and weakness, and decrease range of motion.

    Latent trigger points lie in the muscle waiting to cause a number of symptoms.

  • Many actions can activate trigger points - a fall, blow, knock, strain or a sprain.
