About Our
Clinic


Many people’s lives today are held hostage by chronic, unresolved pain. Increased physical tension and restricted movement can leave you exhausted, frustrated and often depressed. Rather than merely masking these symptoms with medications, Triangle Trigger Point Therapy seeks to help you discover their many underlying causes so that you can loosen up, decompress and reclaim the pain-free, active life you deserve.

Complementing our neuromuscular massage therapy, you will receive a personalized education and logical, lasting strategies to help you maintain mobility for years to come. By teaming up with our skilled “pit crew,” you can be back on the peak-performance track faster than you ever thought possible. Often a few helping hands is all you need!

Neuromuscular massage therapy addresses hypertension that occurs in muscles and surrounding fascia. Constriction of these tissues puts undo amounts of pressure on embedded nerves leading to inflammation and trigger points that can further result in joint compressions and postural imbalances. These conditions account for as much as 90% of the nagging, sometimes “mysterious,” chronic pains. Some of the common conditions we have successfully reduced or eliminated include the following:

Patient Testimonials

  • Scottie, over 70 but I’ll never tell! New York
    I began seeing Terrie 10 years ago after a hip replacement and developing chronic pain in my back and legs.  And she did a wonderful job getting me out of all that.  But the most amazing thing I have come to realize with maintenance over the years, is that because of working with Terrie I have grown to like my body more and more the older I have gotten!  I take good care of myself, eat healthy and walk and swim daily and I know I would never have grown older feeling this good if it had not been for receiving NMT.  And I fly to Raleigh from New York several times a year just for maintenance.  Terrie, you have no idea how much you have done for me!  I only wish all the people I tell about how I stay pain free would listen to me, but they don’t.  And I feel better than anyone I know who is my age even after two hip replacements and a knee surgery.  I have a wonderful, active life and feel amazing!

    TTPT has been working with me now for about two or three years and the improvement and knowledge that I have gained are exceptional.  I originally came in with lower back pain, tennis elbow and sore wrists from golf and playing tennis and since working with them on a regular basis I can both play my sports and travel as I need to without pain.  I would recommend TTPT to anyone!

  • Heather, 40, Raleigh, NC
    I originally sought out treatment at TTPT for the consistent neck, back and hip pain that I was having due to spending too much time at my desk during work hours, as well as from having a hectic travel schedule that included carrying heavy luggage and sitting on long flights.  After years of going to chiropractors and massage therapists, I can definitely say that the relief I have gotten at TTPT has been the best I have ever received.  I look forward to my treatments knowing how much better I will feel once the session is over.  I would come every day if I could!

    I have been going to Terrie at TTPT since she was recommended to me following a car accident.  I could not get the relief I needed to drive the distance to my job, nor could I sit comfortably for my normal work day.  My initial visits were weekly and tapered off and I got better.  Well, that was years ago and ever since I have done a maintenance program with TTPT by choice.  They provide individualized care and are just fabulous to work with.  As I have continued on this journey of life they have continued to support my changing needs. I always look forward to my next visit!

    The staff at TTPT has been extremely helpful on my road to recovery.  I was having back and leg problems so severe that I was not sure I would be able to get up and walk, much less play tennis.  I no longer have the pain in my back or a hard time moving and live a full active lifestyle.  I have known Terrie for more than 3 years now and I wish it had not taken me 2 years to go see her in the first place.  I now see her once a month and am a true believer in taking care of myself with maintenance.

    I am a 6-1/2 year breast cancer survivor.  I had a double mastectomy followed by 2 reconstructive surgeries that left me in tremendous pain.  My doctor recommended I try TTPT.  Terrie met with me and we discussed my pain and my goals and what she would be doing to help me.  Then Terrie helped me go from pain 100% of the time to having an episode only 20% or less of the time.  And not only has she helped me with pain, but she has also become a dear friend.

    I have been a client of Terrie’s for almost 10 years, initially for lower back pain and then for treatment of normal aches and pains from physical activity. She has never failed to bring relief and healing to my body pain issues.  We now have a monthly maintenance session to help maintain my physical health. Terrie is a true professional with exceptional assessment skills and massage techniques.  She is truly a gifted healer! I would recommend her to anyone with physical discomfort.

  • Sherri, Raleigh, NC
    I was extremely frustrated by continued pain in my neck and back.  I had been working with a chiropractor for years to manage the pain. A friend suggested Terrie at TTPT and I worked with them for 6-8 weeks with marked improvement.  I am now stretching several mornings a week and am on a maintenance program to continue treating myself (and my muscles) well!  I highly recommend this group.

    I continued to come back to TTPT after my initial visit because Terrie took the time to discuss my full medical history on the front end.  And she was prepared to analyze and find a solution for the source of my pain. I had immediate results from the work (although at times it hurt!). I came to realize that Terrie was going to be able to find the root source of my pain and that she was genuinely concerned about helping me to feel better both immediately and long-term by recommending specific things that I could do to avoid discomfort in the future.  I trusted her back in 1995 and I trust her just as much today to always relieve my pain and to be a source of analysis as to how I got it. I would recommend her to anyone that I care about who is in pain- for obvious reasons or “mysterious.

    I highly recommend NMT for any kind of chronic muscular pain. And the staff at TTPT is exceptional because of the training and quality work that Terrie has provided to them and to her field for the past 20+ years.  They are sensitive, kind and wonderful listeners.  Totally professional.  NMT has been a lifesaver for me over the years and has continued to keep me pain free as I have gotten older. Thank you for all your love and care!!

  • Marcia, 53, Knightdale, NC,
    The day my doctor referred me to TTPT was one of the best days of my life, as I had been suffering with neck and back pain for several years. One day, I turned my neck like you would a thousand times a day and it popped and caused excruciating pain.  I put my hand up to rub it and was unable to lower my arm again. I went to see my doctor and she referred me to Terrie.  That was almost 20 years ago.  Aside from my original neck and back pain, Terrie also helped me with many other problems.  She did more for my plantar fasciitis than my podiatrist and she kept me from having to have carpal tunnel surgery. She also helped me discover that I had a structural leg length difference and after using a build on my shoes, I no longer have the severe pains that I had lived with since my 20’s. For over 40 years not one medical professional ever noticed that I had a leg length imbalance!  Even as a child, I would have a hip or knee “go out” when I would run or tumble but no one put it together.  My parents took me to doctors about it and they never could come up with a reason. I truly believe that if I had not started seeing Terrie, I would most likely be disabled by now.  She has done more to improve my quality of life with trigger-point therapy than I have had with any other therapy or treatment I have done before or since. I recommend this clinic to everyone I meet who lives with chronic pain.

    I initially came to Triangle Trigger Point in 2007 when I heard about them from a fellow triathlete training for the Ironman Florida.  I suffered from constant leg cramps, lower back pain and shoulder pain and after only 5 visits I was pain free-which says a lot considering the daily pounding I was putting myself through.  Florida was the first race I’ve ever done where I didn’t cramp up!  I’m happy to say that doing a session only once every 12 weeks has kept me pain free since 2007.  I highly recommend TTPT for any serious athlete.

    I was pleased to find that when I first walked into Triangle Trigger Point Therapy only a few weeks ago, that the office and staff were very professional and caring.  My favorite aspect of the clinic is their focus on holistic care and educating clients about proper nutrition, stretching and injury recovery.

    Frequent pain relievers and muscle relaxants were the only way to have any pain relief prior to visiting TTPT.  Now the norm is to stretch (the right way!) and if I feel tightness or pain beginning that usually takes care of it.  My life is much easier and more fulfilling because I am able to easily do all the activities that were once so difficult.  I feel that I can now control pain, and pain doesn’t control me.  TTPT does an excellent job with rehabilitation and education.  They are the best!

    My entire family and I have been going to Terrie for over 13 years. Most of us have regularly scheduled appointments just to stay on top of any issues we have.  Terrie is a delightful person and an absolute professional.  She is the best.

    I had consulted several doctors about my chronic back problems over the years and had gone through lots of tests and MRI’s but was never diagnosed because I didn’t have a disc problem or a reduced range of motion.  What I did have however, was pain.  So I was given medication.  Which didn’t work.  It just made me feel stupid.  I had been to a total of 9 different physical therapists, the best of whom gave me an hour or two of relief, and the worst made things worse.  Finally, a nurse practitioner recommended Terrie to me and from the very first visit I could feel my body healing.  And the day after my initial session I knew I had found the right person.  I ended up having scoliosis and a structural leg length imbalance that doctors had told me didn’t matter.  But it did.  Even pain free, I have chosen to see Teri for periodic maintenance for the last decade.  She made my life worth living again.

    I highly recommend Triangle Trigger Point Therapy and Terrie Bellairs. Terrie is professional and she gets results. I had severe back pain for months after an injury. Triangle Trigger-Point Therapy fixed me up and got me out of pain.   More importantly Triangle Trigger Point Therapy helped me to understand by body, the importance of stretching, and the significance of proper nutrition. I am convinced these life lessons have put me on a pain-free path. Thank you Terrie and Triangle Trigger Point Therapy team.
