Trigger Point Therapy

Core Therapy is one of the few clinics in Melbourne that specialise in trigger point therapy — a modality that directly targets the exceedingly contracted points within your muscle fibres.

These trigger points are painful under compression and can refer pain and tenderness to other areas of the body. Focused treatment of these points is often what is needed to recover from chronic symptoms that can otherwise seem impossible to fix.

Trigger point therapy succeeds where other modalities tend to fail.

Trigger Point Therapy FAQs

I have had massage before and it did not really help.

Trigger point therapy is different. Combined with corrective strength work, Core Therapy addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. Many patients have come to us saying our treatments provided relief other practitioners could not achieve.

I am concerned it is going to hurt.

There can be a distinctive "good hurt" as a point releases, often briefly reproducing your familiar referred pain before it eases. Your therapist tailors pressure to your comfort and communicates throughout.

Is it worth the money?

Core Therapy charges a clear, upfront fee for your treatment, and HICAPS is available on-site so you can claim your private health fund rebate on the spot.

Will I be pressured into more sessions?

Never. Many patients feel meaningful relief after a single session; for chronic issues a short, clearly-explained plan works best — but the decision is always yours.
