Dry Needling
the basics of trigger points
A trigger point is a small area of muscle fibres that are tightly knotted. These knots form when a muscle contracts and then fails to relax. The ongoing muscle contraction pinches your nerves and blood vessels, in addition to causing a painful, hard knot.
These knots are frequently caused by:
Repeated muscle movements
Lifting heavy objects or weights
Direct harm
Inadequate posture
Muscle tension
Long-term stress
Though knotted muscles commonly occur while exercising, they can also develop as a result of a lack of exercise, prolonged sitting, or bed rest. Without exercise, your muscles become weaker and more prone to developing a trigger point
