The Problem with Trigger Point Release  and Acupressure Therapy

One treatment or 6 treatments, is not what it takes in most cases 2, 3 or more treatments a day over  a week or more is often required to release and heal the muscle group. The frequency and duration of the treatment required varies not only on the severity of the constriction but also on the root cause. You can read here for more on the causes of Trigger point constrictions.   If even once a week is stretching your schedule what to do?  Home Treatment is the answer.

We recommend going to a professional for at least an initial visit, to help you identify trigger points and discuss appropriate home treatment schedule, followup visit to expand the areas of treatment if needed and get a independent view of your progress is also a good idea.

If you have a willing partner, they can just use their thumbs.  If you hope to have a frequent schedule of treatment, a tool is a great idea. Applying the necessary pressure frequently and for the necessary duration often results in sore joints and at times damage to the hand. The good news is that good tools are not expensive.  They range from $5 to $60 dollars.

We recommend the Knobber line of massage tools for this type of work at about $10.00.

However there may be time when a helpful partner is not available.  Then What to Do?
