  • A SOLUTION TO THE PAIN THAT WON”T GO AWAY?!
Then you Better Know About Trigger Points!!
 
Trigger Points are small, contracted KNOTS of Muscle (ranging in size from pinhead to pea). Trigger Points collect in strategic regions all over our body CAUSING HAVOC!!!
 
Points of Impact:
Our Muscles are designed with millions of repeating units (See PowerWire #’s 3,9) like microscopic BUBBLE WRAP.
This way, in most accidents, our muscles don’t rip …. small areas “pop” containing injury so we keep moving on!
 
A Trigger Point is a cluster of “popped” bubble in the bubble wrap…with one small exception – They Hurt!!!
 
Point Break:
When a small piece of muscle “pops” (from a fall, repetitive stress, etc), it BLEEDS – The Nervous System instructs the point to CONSTRICT & stop internally bleeding.
 

BREAKING POINT:

Trigger Points ACCUMULATE over TIME causing TIGHTNESS, Referring Pain and Robbing Posture… Carrying loads of small constrictions fatigues us!
 
GOOD POINT!
 
Happily, we can get our muscular trigger Points back in business! Proper Deep Tissue Work finds and fixes Trigger Points …In the Ranks, pain-stopping trigger point repair is a major part of training!!
