A reference for trigger points and referral patterns for 108 muscles. Features 160 trigger points with their corresponding referral patterns, 80 conditions that can be caused by trigger points, and 25 videos that show how to release specific muscles. Each muscle includes the visual referral pattern and point location, plus a written muscle action, referral, origin, insertion, nerve, comments, and audio pronunciation for each muscle. You can choose to view each muscle individually, or use the zones view to see all the muscles that refer into a specific area (or for a specific condition). This is a great help in discovering the source of pain.
This app features all the scientifically proven trigger points and referral patterns as shown in the research.
Trigger points are tight places in a muscle that cause pain to be felt elsewhere in the body. This is great for massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, or anyone wanting to discover the source of muscular pain, and learn about muscle function.

Muscle Trigger Points App Comments & Reviews
Muscle Trigger Points Positive Reviews
So handy!I LOVE my trigger point manual, but of course I don't want to carry it around with me, so this app is just the thing! I use it at least once a week for myself, and have used it many times to help friends, as trPs can mimic several things that require surgery, but are MUCH more easy to correct. Visuals, like those provided in this app are crucial when explaining to a person WHY they hurt in THIS area, but need to work in a DIFFERENT area. The reason for only 4 stars, is that it would be nice to be able to flip the process-show me where it hurts, then the possible points that could be causing it. But still, so happy to have this app! Great job! Update: Five stars! The videos are sooo helpful! Thanks so much for creating such a user friendly and educational app! Bravo!!!.Version: 6.6
So convenient!I’ve been using this app for over 5yrs now and it’s a really good resource. I am a yoga instructor and after taking many anatomy classes and learning so much over the years, this app on my phone is an extremely convenient way to look up information to help myself or someone else find a way to deal with pain or discomfort. I used it last week to help my daughter with back pain and how she could alleviate it. Today, I used it with a friend to explain what could be causing headaches because of neck pain and also to explain the nerves and muscles involved. I have also been able to reach out thru the app to get more clarification. Great work!.Version: 5.4
Changing my life!I have a lot of chronic pain that often interferes with my daily life. I have used a foam roller for ages to relieve painful locked-up muscles. With this app I can target the source of the pain. I have found incredible relief with this app! I was blown away when the first day I spent three hours working through the trigger points and noticed a drastic improvement in many problem areas. I can now easily spend a couple hours slowly going through my problem areas point by point. It is seriously a life saver! Thank you to the creators of this app, I am so grateful to have found this and recommend it to everyone!.Version: 5.4
Perfect tool for getting to know your body on the inside!I have recently become passionate about wholehearted living and because of this I have come to the beginning of learning "what's connected to what", and "what is where" inside of my body. I'm on a mission to take great care of my body and release my trigger points. Especially because I'm lifting weights on a 5 day split and I love working on my specific areas so that I can recover more quickly and also deepen my stretch/flexibility. this app is SO worth the price. it seems a little spendy but if you're committed to being your best, it's worth the investment..Version: 4.3
Great Portable Reference for Treating Trigger PointsI have a huge trigger point therapy book which is excellent except there are no videos showing you how and what to do. This app has everything you need to start treating your own trigger points. The app is well designed, easy to use and not overly complicated. You will need to learn basic anatomy terms to use it. If you are using it to treat yourself just use a tennis ball and wall or floor to roll against. Speaking from experience, start out gently and gradually apply more pressure as you show improvement..Version: 5.3
Critical in understanding points to release tight musclesI have been working to improve flexibility after years of exercise while mostly neglecting flexibility. This app allowed me to understand my muscles and where to release then using trigger points. I recommend using hard rubber lacrosse balls (use your weight on top of them) and a trigger point stick along with some additional videos for self trigger point release. Actually I wish they included videos like that as well as the therapist videos (which are very good). Thanks!.Version: 5.3
Great reference guide and designThis guide directs you to through all muscles and their TrPs mostly likely to be the source of referral pain or tension. From most likely to least likely. The app is easy and quick to use. I discovered a number of new smaller muscles and TrPs that I have missed in the pass. This made all the difference! This is a must for self care and to communicate to a therapist or acess their level. For self care I recommend education the following gear; theracane and theracane travel, rollga foam roller in pro, occiput, hypervolt by hyperice, and your fingers..Version: 5.4
Love it!!I love this app!! I use it all of the time. Not only does it help me target the correct trigger points to find relief from pain, it also has helped me learn anatomy, which makes it easier and more efficient to communicate to my chiropractor what I’m feeling. I have found it to be very accurate, and the graphics combined with the videos and written descriptions really help me better understand my body and how to make it feel better..Version: 6.1
Extremely useful as an LMT and for lifeI bought this app years and years ago when apps were just starting to be a thing. I had no idea how frequently I would use this. I refer to this for migraine causes, send screenshots to friends when they are complaining about muscle pain and I use this to quickly identify trigger points for referred pain in my massages. The cost of this app is nothing in comparison to the information it is actually providing..Version: 5
Quick and helpfulThis app is much quicker and simpler to use than websites I would search for trigger points before. I can usually find my main trigger and release it within a few minutes after opening the app. A couple of angles are hard to determine where the point is, such as the top of the trapezius gives a 3/4 side view. The maps the app has have always been very accurate for me for referral pain..Version: 5
Great app for understanding and using trigger pointsAccurate information combined with an intuitive, easy to use interface make this a great app for understanding and using trigger points. Perhaps the greatest advantage is that one can almost immediately use the trigger points to release muscles and relieve pain. You don't have to read a lot of information to be able to get relief. This app was worth every penny. I would happily buy it again..Version: 4.3
Amazing resource!!There is so much value in this app for the price! My massage therapist used this app during one of my appointments, and so I bought the app for myself to use at home between appointments. I really love the how you can click on a trigger point in the diagram and the app will show you which muscles are tight and where you might feel the pain. The instructional videos are great too! I recommend this app to all my friends who need massage therapy!.Version: 5.8
Love getting to the pointThis app has been very helpful inIdentifying where the real pressure points of the pain that I intermittently have. Once I find the right point the pain is gone. I either lay on a field hockey ball at the point or I have a hand plastic implement with Different size by balls on it that are used to get to the point. I let it sink in for 5 to 15 minutes and the pain is gone. Couldn’t do it as easy without this app..Version: 6.1
A Great App That’s Only ImprovedThis app along with a few small tools has been very handy for finding the referring TPs and self treating my chronic pain. I wrote the above years ago when I was still working. My pain improved when I stopped working, but has worsened again. This app helped before, so I’m using it again. I’m finding the videos especially helpful this time around!.Version: 6.6
This app is essentialThis is my go to .... for pain relief. I swear by it. I’ve used this app for about 7 years. I wouldn’t want to be without it. I’m not a professional. Just a person that knows it works. For instance, I used this TriggerPoints app on my nephew that couldn’t straighten his arm for over a year. Within 10 minutes he had full range of motion. It is amazing how simple, yet very effective. Do yourself a favor. GET THIS APP!.Version: 6.1
Great AppI have used this app in clinical practice as an acupuncturist regularly. I teach acupuncture and recommend this app to my students every year. I supervise in a student clinic and it is so helpful to show interns and patients the pictures as they are describing pain patterns. Beautiful graphics! It is set up better for practitioners than lay-folks (need to know muscle names) but still very useful..Version: 6.6
Best App I’ve boughtSimple and straight forward. If you’re a massage therapist like myself and you treat trigger points, couldn’t recommend this app enough, not only does it benefit you from the info they give it can also help you visually show your clients/patients exactly what is going and why. If I could give it a 6 out of 5 I would, price point for the info worth every penny..Version: 5
This is an amazing app! Very simple yet very informative on effective Pau solving solutions!It’s good to use as a quick reference tool while you work on a friend or a client as PT, CMT or or other kind of bodywork practitioner. So, if you are looking for a quick reference tool that will increase your efficiency in bodywork problem solving then this application is for you..Version: 6.6
Muscle pain and dysfunctionLove this app! My only complaint, is not being able to place notes on the various muscles. I use the app to educate my patients on why they are having pain. I also use the app to explain why I’m not working on their area of pain. The app also helps to explain why they feel a sensation in their back when I’m working on their stomach. I have been doing manual for 22 years and this app is a great tool have in a clinic. Joe.Version: 6.1
Good pressure points, UI clunkyGood info and the pressure points are great. But the user interface is a little clunky, I wish the zoom was easier and more 3dimensional around the main body. Also more locations on the main body would be nice as you zoom in or out. I see a lot of potential but $3 doesn’t buy pretty design, just accurate anatomy.Version: 6.6
Love this app! Helps me & my drsI have cervical dystonia & this app helps me understand what is happening in my head, neck, shoulders, chest, etc., and to show my drs what I am feeling and where it may be coming from. On more than one occasion I have shared the name of this app with my drs, since they are also impressed by the referral details and the visual presentation. Thank you for helping me on my journey!!.Version: 4.3
Helpful, Succinct, InformativeGreat for anyone! This app was a five star value before the videos were added. Too bad I cannot add a star now that it has instructional videos. (I would like videos for a few of the muscles yet to have one attached, because the current videos are so helpful.).Version: 6.6
Awesome, clear, and accurate!I am a massage therapist who specializes in TP therapy and I have been using this app for about 3 years since I opened my practice. It has really helped refresh my memory and works as a great visual for my clients! Really helps bridge the gap of understanding. Love it! Will keep using and recommending as a simple, yet highly effective study tool and reference guide..Version: 6.1
Amazingly HelpfulI stumbled upon this app and so far I love it. The one negative is that I have not been able to figure out why the videos have no volume on my iPhone though they work on my iPad though with a delay in sound. It is still a great platform for the amount of information provided. Thank you developers..Version: 4.3
FantasticI have fibromyalgia and use this app a lot. It has helped me identify triggerpoints causing pain and the instructional videos provide further support to self treat or instruct someone else when I’m unable to reach one myself. A great self-help tool that has improved my quality of life!.Version: 6.6
Disabled Army Veteran Must Have ToolAfter 21 years of military service, which included deployments, my body took a beating. Using this app to treat trigger points reduces my pain and reoccurring trips to the doctor. I am thankful to have a reference guide that not only shows pictures but includes video explanations..Version: 6.2
Became a better therapistAfter getting out of massage therapy school and working on clients; I learned everybody pain was always in a different place and I would always go to the site of their pain never fully relieving them. Upon discovering this site and navigating client issues it aided me in being a better therapist..Version: 6.1
OutstandingI am a physical therapist and this app is SO helpful in my practice. I can show the radiating pain patterns to patients and help them understand why I may be treating an area other than the site of their pain. It also help me in identifying possible sources of peripheral pain as well..Version: 6.6
Amazing!I had been having a lot of pain and couldn't really figure out the cause. Turns out I had a lot of trigger points and after working on them, I'm now starting to feel great again! This app is amazing, it makes it so much easier than google (lol) to find the causes of muscle pain!.Version: 4.3
Incredibly usefulI use this app all the time to find trigger points that are linked to pain and immobility. I have occasionally gotten acupuncture to treat a severe spot but most of the time I can just massage/roll the trigger point to get relief. It can be a painful process but gives me relief!.Version: 6.6
I use this app daily at my clinicI use this map daily, it's useful when creating treatment protocols for my patients, when writing my notes and it is a great visual aid when educating my patients and explaining certain aspects of their condition to them. I find it very helpful in identifying the exact muscles involved in tension headaches..Version: 4.3
Most informative free appI've used this app for the past five years or so and it's been phenomenal. Easy to use interface, just the right amount of info up front to get you headed in the right direction and some great background/more in depth info for those that want to dig a little deeper knowledge wise.Version: 4.3
A great, convenient reference!This app is a great reference, both for checking where a trigger point may refer, and for checking what trigger points may be contributing to a particular pain area. It also gives some video tutorials/ideas on how to treat trigger points! It’s well worth the price!.Version: 5.7
Handy little appI am a physical therapist who treats trigger points. This is a great little app to check patterns for trigger points I don’t have memorized, and for showing patients. I like the manual therapy videos, but would really like if the app showed self management exercises using a tennis ball or pressure point tool and stretching. That would make the app really useful, as well as informative..Version: 5.3
Best app to help with pain!I suffer of chronic back pain and I’ve been using these applications for years to help me control and reduce pain associated with it. I’ve also used these applications to help coworkers with their “normal” pain. I work in an office environment and we are sitting in front of a computer eight hours a day. We suffer from back pain, and wrists pain, and shoulder pain, etc, and I’ve used this application to help with all of those. I really like the videos that help you know how exactly to do what you need. I recommend this application to anybody that has bones and nerves and pain :).Version: 5.3
Foundational causes to spinal injury patternsIf patients knew how bad their doctor needed this information to help them health care would have paradigm shift for the path to excellence! With this information my testing of patients and diagnosis accuracy has skyrocketed to new levels of excellence. Helping the athlete or health searcher buy this app is a breeze!!.Version: 4.3
Amazing!!!!Love that it actually works. Instead of popping a Tylenol … u do some hard work (the app makes it much easier cuz when you know, you know) and the pain gets better! Who knew? PhRma doesn’t solve all our problems haha.Version: 6.6
Kwadd, PTLove this app! I refer to it regularly and have used to show patients the area of trouble. I find it always helps people to understand “why” and being able to point out connections increases compliance with treatment plans and therefore, success..Version: 6.1
Not Complete, but still worthyI’ve always prefed T & S to J St. J & will always prefer the full vol manual (when accessible. The app doesn’t cover every TrP but does cover quite a lot. This far, it’s the closest app (I’ve found so far) to carrying around T&S MP&D TrP Manual Vol., I&II. Highly recommended for on-site reference where manuals & charts are not available..Version: 6.1
Really helpfulI’ve had major TriggerPoints for most of my life. This app is very helpful for locating them. I’m grateful it’s affordable. One suggestion I have is to have a reverse map and show the referred pain areas and then the corresponding trigger point. Great app! Thank you!.Version: 6.6
Trigger PointsI really like this app. I use it on my iPhone and the Surface3 almost on a daily basis. I am a physical therapist and it is great for patient education. It has great application overall. The only downside I have found is that it doesn't have some of the deeper layered muscle groups. But as far as ease of use and quick visuals for most cases it can't be beat!.Version: 4.3
Quick and easy to useI am a massage therapy student and was referred to this app from a licensed massage therapist and love it! Learning TrP now and this gives many ideas of what may be causing there restriction. Thank you for creating this easy to reference app..Version: 6.1
Trigger Points Hurt!This app is my go-to guide for finding relief from chronic pain. The app contains full body illustrations identifying where painful trigger points can be found body wide. I can quickly identify those spots that radiate discomfort and massage those trigger points away..Version: 6.1
Used for yearsI’ve used this app for years and it’s my go to trigger points app. I love it. The added comments section is something I’ve been waiting for. I highly recommend the app for trainers, PT’s and any other body workers..Version: 6.1
Great quick referenceThis app is a great tool for a quick refresher on specific TriggerPoints for a large number of muscles. I’ve used it to show clients what I’m doing, which helps a lot of them to understand better the process and what thinking is behind it..Version: 6.1

My wife has lots of pain and this app helps me get her feeling better between massage therapy sessions..Version: 4.3
Very useful!Excellent app for quick looking up trigger points and showing clients what muscle and TrP I’m talking about. Love it! They can SEE what is going on and it makes my advice more likely to be applied after they leave my practice..Version: 6.6

Has really helped using my Body Back BuddyI bought this app when I bought my Body Back Buddy to help my sore back. That product came with a booklet but this makes it easier to find the spots I massage/apply pressure so thank you! Definitely worth the $2.99..Version: 4.3

A precision tool to help me manage trigger pointsMy massage therapist recommended this app to help me manage week by week trigger points relating to my workout and I’ve found this excellent. I can identify pain areas and learn what muscles are possibly causing them then apply pressure with a noodle or theracane. Most importantly I can do stretches for these muscles now that I know where the referred pain is from, and I can be more aware of improvements of form in my workout that are causing these muscles to overwork unilaterally. The description for each muscle and common conditions is also great. I like that I can slowly learn more anatomy with the whole suite of apps. Definitely recommend this if you are a strength strainer and commonly get trigger points in your muscles that can make you miss workouts..Version: 4.3
GreatThe app is great and the update is awesome!.Version: 4.3
I love this appThis app is great and after using it for several years can’t do without it - the ability to view pain in zones is excellent, and often helps pinpoint the troubled trigger point. Updates always improve things, too. Videos, muscle pronunciation and medical information are all outstanding..Version: 4.3
EducationalI love how I can look at areas that are painful and get the general area that pain generally radiates to as well as further information on the muscles in question..Version: 4.3
