Eligibility Requirements for Studying Trigger Point Therapy Course

If you would like to study the Certification of Massage Professional, the trigger point therapy in advance is the module 2 of the professional course. If you studied the Whole Body Massage Certificate with the Body Sense Massage School® in the past, you can study the introduction to trigger point therapy course.

We are sorry that we don’t accept other short massage course certificates for studying our Trigger Point therapy course or professional course. The Body Sense Massage School is the registered trademark and we run our own branded courses. We follow our own criteria.

History of The Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Massage Therapy was founded in 1942 by Dr. Jannet Travel, private physician of American president John F. Kennedy in order to help the president get a longer presidential career. There are lots of similarities between Chinese Acupressure and Trigger Point Therapy. Trigger point causes the pain and discomfort in any specific part of the body and results in the patient’s complaint. The pain refers to other muscle/s and bringing in muscle disturbances for one muscle or even elsewhere in the body. Through this therapy session, the students learn about the trigger point massage that activates the muscles and releases the knots and tensions, helping the patients to be energetic and more flexible. Strenuous workout or inactive lifestyle might lead to pain in different parts of the body, which can only be resolved with the trigger massage.

Introduction to Trigger Point Therapy Certificate Class

The classes are divided into practical and short theoretical session, where the students can gain knowledge of the essential theory in Trigger Point as well as try the techniques on the patients. The theoretical training covers types, causes, symptoms & management of the pain, contraindications, and the practical training program covers Neuro Muscular Technique (NMT), Deep tissue massage, and Treatment massage. Throughout the session, the candidates learn using their elbow, forearm, fists, palms, knuckles, and thumbs to apply the pressure in the areas that are causing discomfort. The pressure reaches the deeper layers of the muscles, releasing the pain and activating the muscles. Certificates are bestowed to the pursuers right after the completion of the training program and can practice in this field.
