Yeah, but…
Foam rolling, massage gun, massage, if you have injuries are amazing.
No, trigger points are any spot that you press on and it sends pain to a different area, eg, pinching the traps can send a referee pain up your neck and into your eye, with specific pressure that pain will subside.
That as an example can relieve headaches.
There are many trigger points, the quadratus lumborum sends refereed pain down the back of the legs, around your pelvis sends pain into the various glute muscles.
Trigger point therapy releases multiple pains around your body.
Some pain in your should can actually be coming from trigger points low on your scapular..
Really cool and intriguing video kept me curious the whole way through 👍
I bought one of those full body massage chairs. The real ones like they have at the gym or some malls. I have had it for 3 years and me and my wife use it several times a week still. I was worried when I bought it that it would end up just sitting there not being used. Nope, it gets used almost every day and I have no back pain now.
I 100% disagree with their opinion on massage guns…love mine.
This is the guy that says “People that use Roids don t recover faster than people that are natty.” BIGEST COPIUM EVER
