There are two easy things you can do:<\/p>\n

Treat the Trigger Point yourself<\/h3>\n

If you have worked out where a trigger point is \u00a0(or your massage therapist has shown you), you can easily treat that trigger point at home.<\/p>\n

Find the spot, use as much pressure as necessary for the referral pain to kick in, wait until the pain recedes, then increase the pressure.<\/p>\n

Repeat 3-4 times, holding 30-40 seconds each time.<\/p>\n

If you have trouble reaching around your back, neck, or shoulder blades, use a tennis ball, place it on a firm surface and lie on it.<\/p>\n

Apply Heat<\/h3>\n

Another easy, inexpensive thing you can do is to use heat.<\/p>\n

Either via a wheat bag, heat pack or even a hot damp face cloth or hand towel micro-waved for a few minutes will do.<\/p>\n

Not sure if your pain is trigger point pain?<\/p>\n
