Trigger point therapy massage at Andrea Massage and Spa is a focused technique for releasing the tight knots and trigger points that cause muscle pain. Clients in Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book it for a stubborn knot in the shoulder, a band of tension in the lower back or a tight spot that sends pain into the head or hip.
Sessions take place at our Douglaston Parkway studio in Little Neck, NY. Your therapist starts by asking where the pain sits and where it travels, then feels for the tender points behind it. Clients who leave Google reviews describe the therapist as professional and the massage as very good.
Precise Pressure Held Until the Knot Softens
After warming the area with broad strokes, your therapist applies firm, sustained pressure to each trigger point with a thumb, knuckle or elbow. The pressure is held while you breathe and released as the point begins to soften, then the therapist moves to the next. Longer strokes and gentle stretches between points keep the surrounding muscle relaxed. Your feedback guides the pressure the whole way through, so tell your therapist the moment anything feels like too much.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy Massage
Relief at the Source
Working the trigger point directly may help reduce the pain it refers to nearby areas such as the head, shoulder or hip
Fewer Knots
Sustained pressure on a tight band may help it soften and the muscle around it relax
Freer Movement
Releasing the points that lock a muscle short may help restore comfortable range of motion
Lasting Change
Addressing the specific points behind a recurring ache supports longer lasting relief than general massage alone
