What is Trigger Point Pilates™?

Trigger Point Pilates™ is a movement-based therapy that combines traditional Pilates principles with targeted myofascial release techniques. It’s specifically designed to reduce muscular tension, improve mobility, and support rehabilitation by working with the body’s fascia — the connective tissue network that supports muscles and organs.

By using tools like massage balls and foam rollers, this method helps release trigger points (tight, painful spots in the muscles) and restore natural movement patterns. It’s suitable for all levels — from elite athletes to those recovering from injury or dealing with chronic pain.

How Does Trigger Point Pilates Differ from Traditional Pilates?

While both methods share a foundation in posture, core strength, and mindful movement, Trigger Point Pilates adds a therapeutic layer focused on release and recovery:

Therapeutic & Restorative – More restorative in nature, supporting deep tissue release, calm nervous system response, and long-term movement health.

Focus on Myofascial Release – Uses self-massage techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve mobility, targeting areas traditional Pilates may not reach.

Specialised Equipment – Incorporates tools like massage balls and foam rollers (not just reformers or mats) to address fascia and muscular knots.

Pain Management & Rehabilitation – Ideal for those dealing with chronic pain, muscular tightness, or injury recovery.

Proprioceptive Awareness – Emphasises body awareness and coordination by stimulating nerve pathways through fascial work.
