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.
