If you suffer from tight muscles then learning how to release the muscle tension yourself is a great way to get relief.
Michael, an experienced remedial massage therapist at myPhysioSA, explains how to self trigger point massage your ropey tight muscles yourself.
Michael discusses what trigger points are, what they feel like, how to find them and then the best way to de-activate them using a popular technique called trigger point massage therapy.
Trigger point therapy is used to release active trigger points within a taut muscle by using sustained direct pressure over the muscle knot or trigger point. Usually within 10 seconds the muscle trigger point will begin to soften, then over the next minute the trigger point slowly releases.
Watch Michael demonstrate how it’s done.
