Trigger Point Therapy
Expert Therapeutic Care in Denver, CO
Persistent muscle pain, tension, or stiffness can often be traced back to trigger points
—tight knots of contracted muscle fibers that cause discomfort and restricted movement. At Profundus, trigger point therapy offers a highly targeted approach to relieving these pain points, promoting deep muscle release, and restoring optimal function.
Unlike general massage techniques, trigger point therapy is designed to pinpoint and release specific areas of muscular tension. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, postural imbalances, or lingering tightness from an old injury, this therapy provides measurable relief by addressing the root cause of discomfort.
What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots within muscle tissue that cause localized pain and can also refer pain to other areas of the body.
By targeting these tight bands of muscle, trigger point therapy helps eliminate pain at its source rather than simply masking symptoms.
How Does Trigger Point Therapy Work?
During a session, a skilled therapist will identify and apply sustained pressure to specific trigger points, helping to break up tight muscle fibers and encourage blood flow.
This process may involve:
Direct Compression: Applying pressure to the knot to help it release.
Stretching Techniques: Encouraging lengthening of the muscle fibers to prevent re-tightening.
Massage and Mobilization: Restoring natural movement and flexibility in affected muscles.

What does trigger point therapy feel like?
The pressure applied may feel intense, especially on sensitive or tight areas, but it should always remain within a tolerable range. Some clients describe a “good pain” that leads to noticeable relief.
How long does a session last?
A typical session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the severity of muscle tightness and the number of trigger points being addressed.
Can trigger point therapy help with headaches or migraines?
Yes. Many headaches are caused by muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, or jaw. Releasing these trigger points can significantly reduce headache frequency and intensity.
Is trigger point therapy safe for everyone?
This therapy is generally safe, but it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as blood clotting disorders or recent injuries. Always consult with your therapist to ensure it’s the right treatment for you.
