Some types of physical therapy manual massage therapy techniques can be painful and leave bruising. Specifically, trigger point therapy can be one of the most effective, but also most uncomfortable techniques. Trigger points are painful, tense areas that are found in muscles and fascia. We use two primary methods for treating trigger points; Manual Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling. In our Manual Trigger Point Therapy, a certified team member will release these painful points with a hands-on massage. In Dry Needling sessions, one of our specifically-trained practitioners at Physique will insert sterile acupuncture needles in a trigger point to manipulate and release painful tension.
We will stop immediately if at any point you say that you are uncomfortable or would prefer a different treatment.
