Trigger Point Therapy

This treatment style applies concentrated finger pressure, and breath work, to trigger points to break cycles of spasm and pain. Trigger points are irritated areas in muscle fibers that, when compressed, may elicit pain or a twitching response in local or distal regions.

This type of massage for the elderly uses gentle and light application of massage techniques and can include passive stretching and a light oil or lotion to permit your muscles to be worked on without causing excessive friction to the skin.
