Gentle pressure often works just fine.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trigger points are only found where you feel pain.<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Dr. Janet Travell, pioneer of trigger point therapy, it was found that trigger points can refer pain to other areas, which means that the actual source could be away from the actual pain site.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>One session is enough to eliminate chronic pain.<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For issues like chronic pain, multiple trigger point massage sessions are suggested before one starts seeing the difference. These sessions can also be combined with stretching, exercise, and posture correction.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>It is only suitable for athletes or active people.<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trigger point massage can prove to be beneficial even for individuals with sedentary or desk jobs, as they are just as likely to develop trigger points due to repetitive strain or poor posture.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_the_Right_Trigger_Point_Massage_Therapist_with_Blys\"><\/span>Find the Right Trigger Point Massage Therapist with Blys<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Blys, we have qualified and trained therapists a simple call away.
