The trigger point compression technique (technique I) may be combined with simultaneous passive or active change in muscle length in order to optimize the effect. Relevant contraindications have to be excluded and patients should be informed about the possible side effects. The more accurately the trigger point is treated, the less pressure has to be applied. It's important to follow the principle that the pain should be tolerable for the patient and, if possible, reported as "good pain". This is why Trigger Point therapy is often uncomfortable or somewhat painful. The trigger point techniques (I and II) and the inter-muscular mobilization (IV) include a strong manual pressure. Some techniques focus directly on the trigger point and taut band, while others are fascial release techniques, which affect a larger area of the muscle and its fascia. There are several trigger point techniques.
