What are trigger points?Updated 8 days ago

Trigger points are tight, hypersensitive spots within a muscle that feel like “knots” and can cause localized discomfort or referred pain in other areas of the body. They’re often caused by muscle overuse, poor posture, stress, or injury, and can limit mobility, reduce strength, and contribute to chronic pain. These points have been well-documented in scientific literature and are widely recognized in physical therapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation fields as a key contributor to musculoskeletal pain.
