What Are Trigger Points?
A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. These points, also called knots, can be sensitive to the touch. When pressure is applied to these areas, it often feels as though the muscle tension is referring pain to other parts of your body.
What Causes Trigger Points?
Anytime overworked or injured muscle fibers become unable to relax, a mini contraction may form that stretches the muscle band on either side of the knot, resulting in pain. A number of things can cause these trigger points to form, including:
- Poor posture
- Repetitive motions
- Dehydration
- Weakness
How Can You Prevent Trigger Points?
If you find that you are frequently having to deal with trigger points, you may need to make key changes to your lifestyle to help prevent them. Regular stretching and exercise, better nutrition, and quality sleep can all help you avoid these painful muscle knots.
