Description

Back Pain, frozen shoulder, mouse shoulder, trigger pointWHAT IS A TRIGGER POINT: Trigger points are tight, tender spots in a contracted muscle, creating involuntary pain and muscle dysfunction. The resulting spasms and increased nerve sensitivity elicit sharp pain or a constant ache in the muscle. Trigger points can also cause referred pain, pain that travels from the effected muscle through the nerves and is expressed in remote areas. WHAT CAUSES TRIGGER POINTS: Trigger points develop from emotional or physical stress, repetitive use or overuse of a muscle, trauma or accidents, structural imbalance, improper stretching (or lack of stretching) before physical exertion. When individual muscle fibers are over-stimulated and unable to release their contracted state, painful knots develop. The knotted muscle experiences a spiral of events starting with a decrease in blood flow, which causes a diminished supply of oxygen, which causes a build up of metabolic wastes, and finally results in the contracted muscle (trigger point) sending out signals of distress and pain. HOW TRIGGER POINT THERAPY WORKS: In most cases you can eliminate your muscle pain by treating Trigger Points yourself with the Body Back Buddy. When you apply pressure to the Trigger Point, the pain-spasm cycle is interrupted which helps stop the contraction making the pain go away. The Body Back Buddy gives you easy access to all parts of your body. You control the amount of pressure you want to apply. Each therapeutic knob on your Body Back Buddy is designed to simulate the shape and size of the thumbs and elbows therapist's use for Trigger Point Therapy. To treat your trigger points, comfortably position a therapy knob directly over the affected muscle and apply sustained pressure for a period long enough to release the muscle spasm (about 10-30 seconds). When you release the pressure, you will feel the muscle let go and relax. Regular use of your Body Back Buddy is one of the most powerful yet simple ways you can treat muscle pain and discomfort.Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any injury, disease, or condition.
