Mobile registered massage therapy
Trigger point therapy
Trigger point therapy applies focused, sustained pressure to tender "knots" in muscle that can refer pain to other areas. Mirek Werykowicz, RMT, offers it as a mobile service across Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington and Milton.
A trigger point is a tight, sensitive spot in a muscle that can feel sore locally and sometimes refer discomfort elsewhere. Trigger point therapy uses precise, sustained pressure to help these points release, often as part of a wider therapeutic session.
Best for
- Tender muscle "knots" and tight bands
- Localised tension that refers pain elsewhere
- Tension headaches linked to neck and shoulder tightness
- Areas that feel persistently sore to press
Good to know
- If discomfort is widespread or unexplained, speak with your physician before booking.
- For broad relaxation rather than focused points, consider a Swedish massage.
What to expect
Mirek locates the relevant points, applies steady pressure that is firm but tolerable, and eases off as the muscle responds. He combines it with broader techniques so the area is not worked in isolation.
Insurance receipt
As a Registered Massage Therapist (CMTO Ontario), Mirek provides an official RMT receipt after your session that you can submit to your extended health plan for possible reimbursement. This is a receipt for reimbursement, not direct billing.

Questions about trigger point therapy
What is a trigger point and what is trigger point therapy?
A trigger point is a tight, tender spot in a muscle that can be sore to press and can refer discomfort to nearby areas. Trigger point therapy applies focused, sustained pressure to help that spot release, usually as part of a wider therapeutic massage rather than on its own.
How do you release a trigger point?
Mirek applies steady, focused pressure to the point at a firm but tolerable level, holds it as the muscle responds, then eases off and works the surrounding tissue. It is gradual and you stay in control of the pressure. He often pairs it with stretching and broader massage.
Does trigger point therapy work?
Many people find focused trigger point work helps relieve localised muscle tension and the discomfort it refers. Responses vary from person to person, and it works best as part of a tailored session rather than a one-off fix. Mirek will gauge how your muscles respond and adjust.
