Trigger points
Small spots, wide-reaching pain.
Trigger points are tender, tight spots within a muscle that can cause pain locally or refer pain elsewhere, such as from the neck into the head.
Releasing them with pressure, dry needling or stretching can reduce pain and improve movement.
Referred pain
Pain felt away from the trigger point, such as headaches from neck muscles.
Manual pressure
Sustained pressure to release the tight spot.
Needling option
Dry needling as an alternative when appropriate.

Common questions
Good to know.
Is this covered by insurance?
When provided by a registered massage therapist or physiotherapist, it is often covered by extended health plans. We direct bill many providers.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Many people feel a difference within a few sessions.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. You can book directly with our physiotherapist. Some extended health plans ask for a referral before they reimburse, so it is worth checking your policy.
What happens at the first visit?
A detailed history, a hands-on assessment and a clear explanation of what we find. Treatment usually starts the same day, along with a short home program.
