• Increased range of motion 
• Decreased muscle stiffness and tension 
• Reduction in headaches 
• Improved flexibility 
• Improved circulation 
• Fewer muscle spasms 

Those who might be able to benefit the most include anyone coping with a chronic pain disorder like fibromyalgia. Back pain patients, arthritis patients, and anyone recovering from an injury or accident may benefit immensely from trigger point massage.

Trigger point massage can effectively treat tendonitis and bursitis; it can also be of benefit to those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. Migraine sufferers have benefited from trigger point therapy, and it’s also used successfully in the treatment of athletic injuries and athletic-related muscle stiffness and tension.
