At Patrick Murphy Neuromuscular Therapy, we specialise in Myofascial Trigger Point Release, a highly effective treatment for chronic pain, muscle tightness, and restricted movement. If you’re struggling with persistent knots, tension, or discomfort that won’t go away, this therapy targets trigger points—the tight, hyper-irritable areas within your muscles—to release tension and restore normal function.
Whether you’re dealing with sports injuries, postural imbalances, or long-term muscle pain, our expert-led trigger point therapy helps you move better, feel better, and live pain-free.
Trigger points, often referred to as “knots,” are tight bands of muscle fibres that cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. These points can develop from:
✔ Overuse or repetitive movements
✔ Poor posture and prolonged sitting
✔ Injuries or muscle strain
✔ Stress and muscle tension
✔ Lack of movement or improper training techniques
When left untreated, trigger points can cause referred pain, meaning discomfort spreads to other areas of the body. For example, a trigger point in the shoulder can cause headaches, while one in the lower back can contribute to hip or knee pain.
Myofascial Trigger Point Release is a hands-on therapy that applies sustained pressure to break up tight muscle knots and restore normal function. By directly targeting the source of pain, this therapy helps to:
✅ Reduce muscle tightness and tension
✅ Improve blood circulation and oxygen flow
✅ Relieve pain caused by trigger points
✅ Enhance flexibility and range of motion
✅ Prevent future injuries by restoring muscle function
This technique is often combined with other therapies, such as dry needling, sports massage, and rehabilitation exercises, for the most effective pain relief and recovery.
This therapy is beneficial for individuals experiencing:
Chronic muscle pain and tightness
Sports-related injuries and muscle strains
Tension headaches and migraines
Lower back, neck, and shoulder pain
Postural imbalances due to prolonged sitting or standing
Repetitive strain injuries from work or training
If you experience stiffness, pain, or reduced mobility, Myofascial Trigger Point Release can help restore natural movement and function.
Each session is tailored to your specific needs, but typically includes:
1️⃣ Initial Assessment – We identify problem areas, discuss symptoms, and assess muscle function.
2️⃣ Hands-On Trigger Point Therapy – Direct pressure is applied to release tight muscles and reduce pain.
3️⃣ Stretching & Mobility Techniques – We incorporate movement exercises to improve flexibility and prevent future issues.
4️⃣ Aftercare Advice – You’ll receive personalised recommendations for stretches, posture correction, and strengthening exercises.
You may experience mild soreness after treatment, similar to post-exercise discomfort, but this is temporary and a sign that muscles are responding to treatment.
✔ Over 20 years of experience in treating muscular pain and dysfunction
✔ Tailored treatment plans designed for long-term relief and recovery
✔ Combination therapy options – integrating trigger point release with sports massage, dry needling, and rehabilitation exercises
✔ Professional, hands-on care to help you move pain-free
If you’re tired of muscle pain, tightness, and restricted movement, let us help you release tension and restore balance.
