Trigger points are often perceived as small, painful knots in a muscle. If you press on these points, the pain can intensify and possibly radiate to other areas of the body. This radiation of pain from a trigger point to a distant part of the body is known as referred pain. People with active trigger points may also experience limited mobility or increased muscle stiffness in the affected area. Characteristically, the pain is often triggered or aggravated by certain movements or postures. It can be caused by overloading, injuries or muscle imbalances and can manifest itself as stabbing or burning pain.

The application of deep heat leads to an expansion of the blood vessels in the body, which results in increased blood flow and thus brings more oxygen and nutrients to the treated areas. The increased blood flow allows the muscles to relax and thus release trigger points. As the Calopad is placed locally and has a targeted effect, it can be regarded as an efficient trigger point therapy. However, in order to provide long-term relief, it is essential not only to alleviate the symptoms but also to tackle the cause. The Calopad Care Abo combines passive heat treatment with active therapies, such as muscle building, to ensure comprehensive treatment.

Targeted trigger point therapy by a physiotherapist or masseur can alleviate the pain. Alternatively, pressure can be applied to the trigger point independently using massage balls or rollers to relieve the pain. Targeted stretching can also help to relax the muscles and reduce the trigger points. It is important to determine the cause of the trigger points and avoid overloading or incorrect movements. Targeted muscle building and good posture can also prevent trigger points from developing.
