TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Trigger Point Therapy is an effective technique for relieving and preventing muscle pain, such as back pain, neck pain, and joint discomfort (knees, shoulders, wrists). These issues are often caused by so-called "trigger points," small areas of muscle tension that can cause significant pain when pressed.
​
The Foam Roller and Massage Set are designed to apply controlled pressure to these points, helping to release tension, relieve pain, improve circulation, and accelerate muscle recovery.
​
Trigger points appear as small knots or lumps that can be easily identified by the intense pain they cause to the touch. Under a microscope, you can observe how the affected muscle fibers are characterized by nodes, which make the muscle stiff and tense.
When trigger points form in muscles, local blood flow decreases, causing a lack of oxygen and the accumulation of metabolic waste products. In response, the brain sends pain signals and instructs the muscle to rest, leading to muscle stiffness and limited movement.
The most common symptom of trigger points is referred pain, which is perceived as a deep and oppressive ache that may become increasingly sharp during movement.
​
Joint pain, such as in the knees, shoulders, and wrists, is often caused by trigger points in associated muscles, which lead to referred pain. For example, in most cases of back pain, there is always a myofascial component linked to trigger points.
This is why the Foam Roller and Massage Set are essential tools—they help release or eliminate these points, restoring muscle functionality and reducing pain.
MYOFASCIAL MASSAGE
Our body is enveloped by connective tissue layers called fascia, which surround muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. These fasciae allow muscles to move smoothly and transmit movement efficiently, keeping the body agile and strong. However, physical or mental stress and poor posture can cause these fasciae to contract and stiffen, leading to muscle pain, tension, and limited mobility.
​
The purpose of the Foam Roller and Massage Set is to work on this elastic tissue by using body pressure to promote myofascial release, a type of massage that relaxes the fascia, improves circulation, and restores muscle elasticity and functionality.
​
When using the Foam Roller, it’s important to think of the body as a system of interconnected muscle chains rather than focusing on a single muscle. Through fascia, muscles form long myofascial chains that can be effectively targeted with self-massage, relieving tension and improving overall flexibility.
