Relieve Muscle Knots, Referred Pain & Chronic Tension

If you’re dealing with persistent muscle pain, tight “knots,” or restricted movement, trigger point release massage therapy can provide targeted, lasting relief. At Remedy Wellness Centre in Victoria, BC, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) use advanced techniques to locate and release trigger points—helping restore normal muscle function and reduce pain at its source.

What Is Trigger Point Release Therapy?

Trigger point therapy is a therapeutic massage modality that focuses on relieving hyper-irritable spots in muscles, commonly known as trigger points or muscle knots.

These tight bands of muscle and facia can develop from:

• Repetitive strain or overuse
• Poor posture (desk work, phone use)
• Injury or trauma
• Chronic stress and tension

Trigger points don’t just hurt locally—they often cause referred pain, meaning discomfort shows up somewhere else in the body. For example, a trigger point in the shoulder can cause headaches or arm pain.

Signs You May Have Trigger Points

You may benefit from trigger point release massage if you experience:

• Persistent muscle knots or tight bands
• Pain that radiates to other areas (referred pain)
• Limited range of motion or stiffness
• Tension headaches or neck pain
• Chronic back, shoulder, or hip discomfort
• Pain that doesn’t resolve with rest

How Trigger Point Release Massage Works

At Remedy Wellness, your treatment is focused, clinical, and results-driven. Your RMT will:

1. Identify the Root Cause

Through assessment and palpation, we locate the exact trigger points contributing to your pain.

2. Apply Targeted Pressure

Sustained, precise pressure is applied to deactivate the knot and improve circulation.

3. Restore Muscle Function

We incorporate stretching, movement, and corrective techniques to help prevent recurrence.

4. Customize Your Treatment Plan

Every session is tailored to your body, lifestyle, and recovery goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

For stubborn or chronic trigger points, we may recommend shockwave therapy in collaboration with our physiotherapy or chiropractic team.

FAQs 

Does trigger point release hurt?

You may feel discomfort during pressure, but it should always be tolerable and followed by relief. Your RMT will check in with you during the treatment about the pressure and what you are expriencing, and make adjustments. 

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on the severity and duration of your condition. Some people feel relief in one session, while chronic issues may require a series.

Is trigger point therapy the same as deep tissue massage?

Not exactly. Deep tissue massage targets deeper layers broadly, while trigger point therapy focuses on specific pain-causing knots. Both can be incorporated into one treatment, as all of our massage treatment plans are unique to each patients needs.

Can trigger points come back?

Yes—especially without addressing posture, movement habits, or stress. Your RMT will provide guidance to prevent recurrence.
