Muscle Knots

Muscle knots—also known as trigger points—can cause lingering pain, stiffness, and reduced function. At Shield Clinics, we provide specialized Trigger Point Therapy to release tight muscle areas that refer pain to other parts of the body.

Our skilled practitioners use targeted techniques to identify and deactivate trigger points, which often develop from muscle overuse, stress, poor posture, or injury. By applying gentle, sustained pressure to these sensitive areas, we help restore normal muscle function, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation — leading to long-term relief and improved mobility.

Trigger Point Therapy is especially effective for those suffering from conditions such as tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, back pain, sciatica, and even jaw discomfort (TMJ). Because trigger points can refer pain to seemingly unrelated areas, our clinicians take a holistic approach to your care, ensuring that underlying causes are not overlooked.

We often integrate Trigger Point Therapy with other treatment modalities, including physiotherapy, massage therapy, and stretching routines, to maximize your recovery and prevent recurrence. Each session is tailored to your unique symptoms and comfort level, and your progress is closely monitored to ensure steady improvement.
