How to find and treat abdominal trigger points - how to self treat trigger point pains

Trigger points are some of the most common causes of muscle pain. A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. Abdominal trigger points cause a surprising amount of back pain. It's no wonder we often overlook this muscle when we have back pain.

In this video, I describe a technique i've used with my patients to make sure you find and treat all your abdominal muscle knots. If you miss one, the pain may not fully decrease. Thats why its important to be thorough with your examination. That's why its important to know how to self treat trigger point pains. You can easily do it at home, using just your hands!

Here are some key points to remember when looking for these muscle knots:

Make sure that you press into each spot for a few seconds. The goal is not only to feel tenderness, but also to see if the pressure is recreating any pain that you feeling. Does the muscle spot recreate your low back pain? If so, hold that pressure for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute.

Don't overtreat your trigger points. It's better to spend time going over all your spots, rather than focusing on just one spot. The tendency is to try to do too much. This can often leave you sore and bruised.

1:06 every time I do the finger pressure underneath the rib cage, inch by inch as I lower the pressure I end up touching and stroking my muscle that gets pulled a lot.
I have avoided my stomach cramps and released a ton of tension at the same time.
Thanks so much.

Omg thank you so much!!! I was about to start crying as my upper right stomach hurt when I tried to twist to the left (like how you crack your back) but I don’t feel it anymore. I think I twisted too hard when I was walking but I can move freely now!
