What is trigger point massage?
A trigger point massage helps work out knots and reduce the pain associated with them. It is one of Abbagayl's specialties.
Trigger points are tight, tender spots within a muscle that can send discomfort elsewhere, such as a knot in the upper back that is felt as a headache. Abbagayl locates them, applies steady, controlled pressure until the tissue softens, then works the surrounding muscle so the release holds.
Trigger point massage targets small, tender knots in a muscle that can send discomfort to other areas, like a knot near the shoulder blade that shows up as a headache. Abbagayl finds these points by touch and applies steady, focused pressure until the tissue starts to let go.
Clients often book trigger point massage for neck and shoulder tension, tension headaches, or low back tightness from sitting. The pressure is firm but never more than you agree to, and you can ask her to ease off at any point during the session.
Because trigger point massage happens at your home in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Scottsdale or Phoenix, there is no drive afterward while your muscles are still settling. It combines easily with Swedish or myofascial work in the same appointment at no extra charge.
Sessions run 60, 90 or 120 minutes at $150 an hour, with 30% off your first visit. Abbagayl is a licensed massage therapist in Arizona (license MT-28809), and you can confirm any therapist's license through the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy.

Trigger Point Massage FAQ
More answers on the services page, or read Chronic Pain on the blog.
Does trigger point massage hurt?
It can feel intense on a tight spot, but it should never be more than you are comfortable with. Pressure is adjusted to your feedback.
Will I be sore afterward?
Some people feel mild tenderness for a day or two, similar to after a workout. Water and gentle movement help.
Can it help with headaches?
Many tension headaches are linked to tight neck and shoulder muscles, which this work targets. For frequent or severe headaches, check with your doctor.
