Trigger Point Self Massage Stick® is a therapeutic massager that allows you to apply pressure to treat muscle dysfunction.

Benefits of using the Trigger Point Self Massage Stick

• Eliminate painful knots in your muscles on your own

• Easily apply deep pressure massage on hard to reach muscle groups

• Precision control facilitates stress and tension relief without drugs

• Soothing, penetrating massage helps muscles recover faster from overexertion

• Empowers the user to achieve effective pain management independently.

Applying adequate pressure will help to keep the ball in contact with the muscle you're working on and prevent the ball from slipping off. Begin with light pressure and short periods of use as your muscles will require a breaking in period. Start off with just a minute or two of use a few times a day. If you do overdo it, you will likely hurt more than you did to begin with. This discomfort will normally always go away after a restful sleep or within 12-36 hours. In addition to this, a long hot shower will usually make you feel better and speed up your recovery. With experience you'll be able to use all the pressure you want for extended periods of massage. 

If a tender point on the muscle seems extra sensitive, massage the surrounding area before working on the more tender spot. Back muscles are thicker and deeper than other muscles (forearms for instance) and will require more pressure.

Try different methods when applying pressure to determine which suits you and/or the muscle you're massaging the best. For example, you can apply steady pressure for 5 or 10 seconds, release, relax and repeat. Some prefer maintaining direct pressure while moving the ball slowly over a small area of the muscle, gradually going in deeper. A gentle wiggle can help you to burrow into the sore area.
