If you are not familiar with A Trigger Point- It is a hyperirritable spot in the taut bland of the skeletal muscle or the myofascial pain. Pain occurs on the spot due to muscle compression thus giving rise to referred pain, local twitch response and tenderness.

Some trigger points also lie in other tissues such as tendons, skin, ligaments and joint capsules.

How Trigger Points Develop & How To Locate Them:-

Most trigger points form due to muscular injuries, strains, injuries and trauma. When your muscle fibres, ligaments, tendons and fascia overstretch, get inflamed or weakened, it causes tiny tears in the soft tissue area. When those tissues heal, they contract, get twisted, start knotting and restricts the flow of fresh blood needed in your muscle cells.

There is also a shortage of muscle fibre to safeguard it from other injuries. Structural imbalances, poor nutrition, emotional and mental stress and improper body mechanics- all are key factors that cause trigger points to develop. Due to this, the muscles learn to avoid pain and restricts its movement, further leading to the development of other trigger points.

Common Activating Factors Include:-

  • Muscle injury due to repetitive use.
  • Emotional stress which causes the brain to overload and tightens the muscles.
  • Postural stresses resulting due to slouching and prolonged immobility.
  • Poor diet leading to nutritional deficiencies.
  • Improper breathing techniques resulting in impaired circulation.

How To Locate Them?

Most trigger points are found inside a rope-like knotted band of muscles. The area will be sensitive to your touch, thus helping you to locate them. Some trigger points, particularly between the shoulder blades, will develop instinctively, while other points may get known with gentle stretching of muscles. That will provide you with the clues you need to treat yourself.

Also, muscles and trigger points are paired. A point on the left side will correspondingly have a point on the right side. So, it is best to identify both the points and give equal attention to them for maximum relief.
