What is a Trigger Point?
A trigger point is a hyper irritable spot that is typically found in the center of a muscle belly and has a predictable referred pain pattern. Direct compression/palpation can cause intense pain, involuntary twitching of muscle fibres, referred pain and/or involuntary movement in another area of your body that we call a “jump sign”.

Common causes of trigger points are:
* Muscle injuries/stiffness
* Lack of exercise
* Chronic stress
* Joint issues/hypermobility

Symptoms:
* muscle weakness/imbalance
* Decreased range of motion
* Pain during movement
* Headaches

Management:
* Go and see your massage therapist 😄
* Foam rolling/daily stretching
* Strengthening/daily movement
