Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy at Deluca Massage is a highly targeted form of Massage Therapy designed to eliminate localized pain. A trigger point is a tight, often painful, knot of muscle tissue that can refer pain to other parts of the body. Our specialized therapists apply focused, sustained pressure to these specific points to encourage them to relax, thereby reducing pain and restoring proper function.

This therapy is often the best massage option for clients suffering from chronic, radiating pain (like sciatica, tension headaches, or carpal tunnel) that stems from a specific muscular source. Our focused approach ensures maximum therapeutic benefit in Massage in DC. Pinpoint Accuracy: We use fingers, knuckles, or elbows to apply precise pressure to inactive muscle fibers, offering relief that general Full Body Massage techniques may not achieve. Effective for Referred Pain: If your headache is actually being caused by a knot in your shoulder (a common pattern), Trigger Point Therapy correctly addresses the source of the pain, not just the symptom. Paired with Flexibility: This technique is often combined with dynamic muscle stretching to enhance flexibility, relieve stubborn tension, and promote better overall function and comfort, working hand-in-hand with a deep Body Massage approach.
