Trigger Tools - Trigger Point Massage | BLACKROLL® Online Store

What exactly are trigger points, and where do they come from?

Trigger points are small areas of pain in the connective tissue. Myofascial trigger points—that is, adhesions and tension—can result from prolonged sitting, strenuous exercise, or improper strain. You’ll usually find trigger points in the shoulder, hand, foot, or even the back. You’ll then feel uncomfortable or painful tension in your body. But don’t worry: a trigger point massage can help relieve the pain.

HOW DOES A TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE WORK?

You can perform trigger point massage on your own in three steps. First, you apply pressure to the trigger points; then you mobilize the area; and finally, you stretch it. The entire process takes about seven minutes. Be sure to follow our instructions and identify which trigger points you can target.

When used in combination with the fascia rollers, the DUOBALL, and the small and large fascia balls, the TWISTER is the perfect tool for deep fascia massage.
