Releasing the Source of Your Pain
At Knot Away Clinic, our Trigger Point & Fascia Release treatment is a targeted therapy designed to get to the root of your chronic aches and restricted movement. It is not a general relaxation massage, it is a precise treatment for deep, stubborn issues.
Our Clinical Starting Point
Every session begins with a targeted postural or movement assessment to precisely locate the source of referred pain and dysfunctional muscle groups, ensuring our deep treatment is applied exactly where needed for long-lasting change.
What Does This Treament Help?
Trigger points or 'muscle knots' are small, tight spots that cause pain both locally and referred to other parts of your body, are a primary cause of chronic muscle pain and stiffness. When fascia, the connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, becomes tight, it can pull on your muscles and joints causing pain and limiting your flexibility.
Our Treaments
Trigger Point Therapy: Our therapist uses a range of techniques to apply sustained, direct pressure to specific knots to help them release. This can feel intense, but it is highly effective at breaking the cycle of pain and tension. By releasing these knots and restrictions, we facilitate a neurological reset that allows the muscle to finally relax.
Myofascial Release: For this therapy we use slow, gentle stretching and sustained pressure to release the tightness in your fascia, restoring its natural elasticity and allowing your muscles to move more freely. This therapeutic approach is essential for breaking down deep-seated tension and addressing the root cause of your pain. By doing so, we provide long-lasting relief, improve your mobility, and restore your body's natural balance.

Frequently asked questions
What is 'referred pain'?
Referred pain is a phenomenon where a trigger point in one muscle creates pain in another area. A classic example is a trigger point in the shoulder muscle causing a tension headache. By treating the source (the knot), we can resolve the symptom (the headache).
Is this treatment painful?
Treating a trigger point involves applying direct, firm pressure which can feel intense and may replicate your specific pain pattern. However, it should feel like a 'good pain'—a sign that we've found the right spot. The intensity is always managed within your tolerance.
What's the difference between this and Deep Tissue Massage?
While both can involve firm pressure, their intent is different. Deep Tissue is a broad technique to address deeper muscle layers. Trigger Point & Fascia Release is a highly specific therapy focused on locating and deactivating individual 'knots' and releasing specific fascial lines.
How will I feel after the session?
You may feel some tenderness at the release sites for a day or two, which is normal. However, most clients also report an immediate increase in range of motion, a feeling of 'lightness' in the area, and a significant reduction in their original pain pattern.
Is this a full-body treatment?
Typically, no. The effectiveness of this therapy comes from its focused nature. A session is usually dedicated to a specific region of the body (e.g., the neck and shoulders, or the hips and lower back) to allow for a thorough and effective release of that area.
