Trigger Points: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment at Dr. Hamza Physio
Overview
Trigger points are localized knots or tight bands of muscle fibers that form when muscles fail to relax. They can cause pain, stiffness, and referred pain in other areas of the body. These points often develop due to muscle overuse, stress, or poor posture, leading to discomfort and restricted movement.
At Dr. Hamza Physio, located in the AIH Building, G-8 Markaz, Islamabad, we specialize in diagnosing and treating trigger points using advanced physiotherapy techniques to relieve pain, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence.

Localized muscle pain and tenderness

FAQs
physiotherapy is highly effective in treating trigger points by releasing muscle tension, improving circulation, and reducing pain.
Recovery time depends on the severity of the trigger points, but most patients experience significant improvement within a few sessions of physiotherapy.
We offer manual therapy, dry needling, myofascial release, stretching exercises, and posture correction techniques.
Without maintaining good posture, stress management, and regular stretching, trigger points can return. Our physiotherapists provide long-term strategies to prevent recurrence.
