THERE ARE SEVERAL CAUSES of trigger points. These include direct trauma (an accident or injury), unusual exertion and repetitive strain. Direct trauma involves impact, as from a fall, or an automobile or skiing accident.
Trigger points are contracted areas, or knots, in muscles that cause pain, stiffness and other symptoms. This pain can be localized, or referred to another part of the body. Short sessions of massage applied specifically to trigger points, ideally done several times a day, help trigger points to release and the body can then do its part to heal the muscle.
