A trigger point is the location of muscle tissue tightness where pain emanates from. Typically a trigger point will give shooting pain from various body parts including your shoulders, arms, legs, back, or glutes. The trigger points can appear as knots by the muscle and cause pain and discomfort when pressure is applied to the area. Trigger point can also cause a limited range of movement or motion due to stiffness and tightness of the muscle. Without treatment the pain will eventually become insufferable and can affect posture and balance.

A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. A trigger point in the back, for example, may produce referral pain in the neck. The neck, now acting as a satellite trigger point, may then cause pain in the head. The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache.
