Trigger Point Therapy
Dr. Janet Travell coined the term "trigger point" in 1942 while researching techniques to treat myofascial pain.
Trigger points only form in muscles and usually lead to pain, tenderness and stiffness. Trigger points can cause pain in other parts of the body (referral pain). There are varied causes which can include chronic muscle overuse, trauma to the region, or accidents (i.e. car crash, ski accident). Trigger point therapy focuses on compressing the trigger points, releasing the constricted muscle and alleviating pain.

Why We're Different
|
Full Time Massage
It's not uncommon to book a 60 minute massage and only get 50 minutes of "hands-on-time", but at Blue Orchid Massage, we believe it's important that you get exactly what you signed up for. We have already built in time to chit chat before and after your massage, meaning you are guaranteed a full 60, 75 or 90 minutes of "Hands on Time". We just ask that you arrive on time so we aren't rushed.

No Tips Accepted
We do not accept gratuities or tips.
The best compliment you can give us is a referral! Learn more about why we don't accept tips. |
No Extra Cost for Deep Tissue
We know that every session is different and that you might need deep tissue and trigger point therapy one session but a relaxing Swedish massage the next. That's why we feel it's important to not charge extra for certain modalities. Your session could include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Warm Bamboo, Trigger Point Therapy, Injury massage and Aromatherapy.
