Trigger Point
A "Trigger Point" refers to a sensitive area in a muscle that can cause pain in other parts of the body when pressed. These points are often the result of muscle overuse, injury, or stress, leading to tight knots that can restrict movement and cause discomfort.
Trigger points are commonly associated with conditions like myofascial pain syndrome and can be treated through various methods, including physical therapy, massage, and stretching exercises. Identifying and addressing these points can help alleviate pain and improve overall muscle function.
