Amphora Trigger point book

What is a trigger point? It is a highly irritated area within a skeletal muscle or muscle fascia. This point is painful to palpate and can cause muscle tension, vegetative reactions and projected pain. These trigger points are formed when the body wants to avoid too much tension on a joint or a muscle, in reaction to a trauma, an intensive physical activity, a negative stress or even after a period of sedentary life.The aim of this book, structured in different muscle sheets, is to effectively target the points, to understand their appearance and to relieve them with adapted gestures and techniques. After a reminder of the many benefits of self-massage, massage and stretching, the different parts of the body are treated in dedicated chapters with numerous educational drawings to facilitate understanding of the mechanisms at work. Photos complete the instructions and illustrate the movements to be reproduced to detect and relieve the trigger points. Because a good understanding is necessary for a good execution, here is a manual that makes the link between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
