Review on US-Made Occipital Release Tool by Davinci Tool Firm for Neck, Shoulder, Back & TMJ Pain Relief - Red Neck Wedge, Suboccipital Release Device, Still Point Inducer, and Tension Headache Relief by Roger Mitchell

This tells you that the tool is working. Trigger point therapy is inherently painful, sometimes very painful. Trigger points are sensitive areas of the muscles that cause painful muscle spasms. Remember that painful points are not necessarily trigger points. You can find pictures online showing where trigger points are in relation to pain. In Google Images, type "Travel Trigger Point Tables". This is why the treatment is painful: when the trigger point is pressed, it hurts. Holding the pressure should increase the pain. This pressure deprives the muscles of oxygen. If you can endure the pain long enough, the muscle will relax the knot. In a few minutes after the superficial pain of the treatment has disappeared, you will feel relief from the pain caused by the knotted muscle. This is the start of trigger point treatment because muscles have memory. Trigger points have to be released again and again, which teaches the muscle a new position of existence. The knots come back, say, 80% - I'm guessing the number - after each operation. With regular treatment, they eventually disappear completely. At first, you won't be able to withstand the pressure for more than 5 seconds. This time increases with each process. The tightest knots will not unravel after the first few treatments. This is when less is more. Squeezing too hard and/or too often will cause the pain to get worse the next day. If you insist, the knots will eventually disappear. I know. I had an unfortunate fall that twisted my pelvis and spasmed all my muscles. All of these knots are gone, except small ones in the cervical spine, at the base of the skull. This tool reaches the last few muscles. You may have to play around with the tool to find the right dots. can you do that! That changes life!
