Hai Andy,

Dont get trigger release for all the muscles in a day sometimes it will sore your muscles and it will cause more pain

if you have triggers in all your muscles do swimming for a week and gradually go with trigger point release

you can release the node by urself if it is reachable

Identify the node, compress it for 45 sec firmly and then release it (ischemic compression) do it 7 - 10 times in a set

Do include stretching,icing, METs for the involved muscles

Search Trigger Points in google and u can easily locate the trigger points

Get Well Soon friend

But can i work on the same trigger point everyday? For example...i have a trigger point in rectus abdominus muscle. Can i work on this trigger point everyday until it is completely released?? Thanks Mate. Look forward for your response..
N how will swimming help here? will it loosen up the muscle?? Just curious....
