Trigger Point Therapy in Downtown Vancouver
What is trigger point therapy?
Trigger point therapy is a focused massage therapy approach that uses sustained, tolerable pressure and other hands-on techniques on tender or tight-feeling soft-tissue areas. At Everest Therapeutics, your RMT adjusts treatment to your assessment, preferences, comfort, and goals. At Everest Therapeutics, 970 Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver, a first appointment is 60 minutes and costs $145 plus GST.
The goal is not to force a release or promise a specific result. Your RMT will explain the proposed approach, use pressure that is appropriate for you, and change course if a technique is not comfortable or suitable.
What Trigger Point Therapy Involves
Some people use the term “trigger point” to describe a tender or tight-feeling area in a muscle. In a massage therapy appointment, an RMT combines patient history, assessment, comfortable pressure, movement, and other manual techniques when clinically appropriate.

When People Book This Approach
Talk to your RMT about this approach if you have a localized area of muscle tenderness or tightness, want a more focused massage therapy session, or would like an RMT to help you decide whether pressure-based techniques are suitable for your comfort and goals.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Your RMT will ask about the area bothering you, the activities that affect it, relevant medical history, and your goals. They will explain the plan before treatment. During hands-on care, they will check in about pressure and sensation. You can request lighter pressure, a different technique, a position change, or stop at any time.
Temporary tenderness can occur after a massage therapy appointment. Your RMT can discuss practical aftercare and when to follow up if something does not feel right.
When Massage Therapy Is Not the Next Step
Seek prompt medical care for unexplained chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, new numbness, fever, rapidly increasing swelling, a recent fracture or serious trauma, or symptoms that are severe or worsening. An RMT cannot diagnose the cause of those symptoms from a web page or massage appointment.

“I had a great massage experience—so relaxing and exactly what I needed. Ayaka was professional, attentive, and really focused on my tension areas. I left feeling refreshed and much lighter. Highly recommend!”
