trigger point explained with animation

This first video is a short explanation and introduction to the trigger point. Many health and pain problems, like frozen shoulder, chronic neck stiffness and migraine are related to trigger points. People can learn how to effectively treat trigger points themselves. I hope to show you in this video that trigger points are a fact, not a theory.

To learn more about all the specific trigger points and how to treat them I recommend "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by Clair Davies. This book also tells about causes of trigger points and more. For more advanced information about trigger points (requires basic knowledge) I recommend the book "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction" by Travell & Simons.

Please don't mind my foreign accent :).

Thank you for this video. You did a great job! I am a nurse practitioner and would like to use this video to educate patients. With your permission I would like to show this video during my lectures about trigger points and treatment options that do not involve narcotics for pain management. Of coarse, all credit will be listed in the presentation as you the creator with a link to your video. Thank you so much and again great explanation.

I had some great results from golf balls under my back, laying on carpet floor.  Try them all over the whole back, except on top of the boney vertebrate spinal column, boney edges of the scapula, or boney ribs for very skinny.  Be sure to grab some muscle, not ball to bare bones.  My worst trigger points are under the scapula and feel amazing to release with about 12 strokes. I just need to make a habit of the 5 times a day for a few weeks to really kick them into shape.  I'm pretty sure some of mine are misaligning nearby discs as well.
