The best exercises for trigger point massage

How does trigger point massage work?

Triggering brings the tried and tested acupressure back to the fore. Physiotherapy experts know: you need selective, long-lasting and targeted pressure on the muscle if deep tension is to be relieved. The result: the muscle is supplied with blood again and the transmitted pain disappears.

The pressure forces the collagens apart. Actin and myosin, the smallest units of the muscle that have stuck together, are directly stretched. In addition, triggering results in a surge in circulation: blood circulation is increased enormously and metabolism is boosted. This is the only way the tissue can best heal itself.

Here's how it works: Perform each exercise for about 60 seconds. Then take a break of approx. 30 - 60 seconds. If necessary, repeat each exercise 2-3 times. Adjust the number of repetitions if necessary to suit your fitness level. It is important to hit the trigger point as precisely as possible and build up enough pressure.
