What does a trigger point feel like?
A lot of people describe it as a knot, tender band, or spot that feels connected to tension somewhere else.
Trigger point massage
Specific work for knots, tight bands, and stubborn spots.
Trigger points are often described as knots: small, sensitive areas that can make a muscle feel tight or send discomfort somewhere nearby. Chris works them with focused pressure and patience.

Session feel
What the work is like.
Chris locates the areas that feel restricted, applies focused pressure, and adjusts based on your feedback. The pace is usually slower and more precise than a relaxation massage.
Common reasons people book this
- A shoulder knot that keeps pulling on your neck
- Glute or hip tightness that affects your stride or squat
- Back tension that feels concentrated in a few spots
- Tension patterns from desk work, driving, labor, or training
When something else may be better
If the whole body feels overloaded, a 90-minute deep tissue or sports massage may give more time to connect the dots. If symptoms feel nerve-like, severe, or unexplained, talk with a healthcare provider.

Questions
Before you book.
How long does trigger point work take?
It depends on how many areas need attention. A 60-minute session is a strong starting point.
Is this different from deep tissue?
It overlaps, but trigger point work is usually more specific to individual tight spots.
