Trigger Point Release therapy focuses on deactivating painful knots in the muscles known as myofascial trigger points—discovered and popularized by Dr. Janet Travell. These trigger points can cause localized pain or refer discomfort to other areas of the body, often mimicking other conditions.

At LA Sports Recovery, our therapists are trained to identify and release these points using sustained, focused pressure. This not only reduces local pain but also restores normal muscle length and function, allowing for improved mobility and performance.

Trigger Point Therapy is especially beneficial for those with desk jobs, repetitive strain, athletes under heavy training loads, and individuals recovering from trauma or surgery. The therapy can have surprisingly broad effects, including better sleep, increased range of motion, and enhanced athletic performance.
