Coastal Wellness Studio

Focused clinical care for muscular pain and tension

At Coastal Wellness Studio, much of the clinical work focuses on identifying and releasing muscular trigger points, small hyper-irritable knots within muscle tissue that can produce pain locally or refer pain into other areas of the body.

These points often develop from repetitive strain, postural stress, athletic injury, or chronic muscle guarding. When left untreated, they can contribute to persistent tension, reduced mobility, headaches, and nerve-like pain patterns.

Trigger point therapy is a precise neuromuscular treatment. The goal is not temporary relaxation, but correction of dysfunctional muscle patterns and support for more normal movement and function.

During treatment, Dr. Anna Bäck identifies the specific muscle fibers contributing to the pain pattern and releases them using acupuncture techniques and targeted stimulation.

In many cases, electro-stimulation is applied through acupuncture needles or surface leads. This gentle electrical signal helps the muscle relax, improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports the body’s natural repair process. The stimulation is mild and controlled, creating a rhythmic pulsing sensation that encourages deeply contracted muscle fibers to release.
