Muscle Trigger Points Customer Service

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!!!

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!

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!

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.

I have had this app for years! I was trained in the Travell and Simons trigger point technique many years ago. As a former massage therapist who still loves to do trigger point to help others this app has come to my aid many times. I love it and highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect resource to apply trigger point therapy! It’s like looking at the charts or posters but better in 3D! Thank you to the creators for making such a valuable resource for those of us trained in body work and those who’d like to learn!

I 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.

I 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!

This 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.

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.

I truly was blessed awhile ago to meet someone who used this app to help me with my pain management. And I second guessed it at first and didn’t use it but I started getting pain again and took the time to learn about the human body. And this app brought me back to my high school days learning about the human anatomy. Thank you for the knowledge that our creator have blessed you guys with. I’m impressed. Even with the new update videos wow. Great job!

I 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.

This 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.

Accurate 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.

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!

This 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.

This 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!

This 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!

I 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.

Simple 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.

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.

Love 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

Good 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

I 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!!

No clutter here (what a breath of fresh air)! Wish more app designers knew this concept. Just started using it to work on a variety of aches and pains and it has already helped with my jaw pain after working on 3 trigger points. Love it and wish I’d found it sooner!

Great 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.)

This has really helped me figure out many sources causing my plantar fasciitis that even my doctor didn’t know about. Somehow my podiatrist was only thinking the sources coming from the foot and not all the way up to my calves. I’m also seeing tight places that could be causing my TMJ. Very worth it.

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.

I 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.

Learning about trigger points and how to treat them was a life saver. To be able to find, ID and “repair” on the fly is a Godsend. Thanks for a quite thorough app that explains and shows the vast majority of possible pain centers. A valuable additional advantage is to show others how it works and how they might find relief.

I 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!

After 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.

After 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.

I 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.

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!

I 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!

I 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.

I'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

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!

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 :)

I 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.

If 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!!

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

I’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.

Love 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.

I 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!

I 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.

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.

I’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!

I’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.

I’ve used this app to identify and relieve pain on many occasions. Workdays and more importantly vacation days that I would have been less active have been saved with finding and releasing the offending trigger points.

I have been a massage therapist over 12 years and I use this app for reference. It’s a great tool to have in your pocket

Wonderful reference for massage therapists. I use it all of the time in my practice.

I use this app as a great reference for acupuncture and trigger point release in my practice.

Love it. My favourite is the trapezius. I get jaw, temple pain and migraines. If I get the three points rubbed above my shoulder and the pain in my jaw, temple disappears along with my headache. Love it love it love it

Full of really well explained and useful information.

A well designed and very useful app. It makes my work easier. Thanks for your effort

Really helpful app! Love it

So helpful in identifying what points to work on for problems with specific muscles in particular areas. Love how it's illustrated with the muscle and trigger point(s). Educational for sure. As a retired massage therapist, I wish it was around when I was in practice..

Helpful for schooling for me

Very good and useful app. Very easy to use. I’ve been using it for over four years. Very satisfied.

I’ve been using this for years. It has helped me figure out a lot of difficulties myself when I didn’t have access to a massage therapist. I’m grateful for the help it has given me.

I really enjoy this app super helpful for reminders and finding the right pain

Fantastic images helps me with my job massage and Physio

Easy to use and accurate.

It’s a shame that you can only turn the body 2 ways and not have 360 control over where you’re looking. Other than that, the images and info are solid as heck. Would recommend.

It’s a great app very useful for school in massage therapy.

Love the app. So useful for myself and also helping others.

Love it. Have used it for years. It’s always right.

When I’m trying to study for anatomy, this has been incredibly helpful, allowing me to see the origin and insertions but also the action of the muscle as well!!!!!!

Thank you for creating this amazing, simple to use app! relieving painful trigger points at my fingertips. No long drawn out explanations in the video...just to the point, valuable and effective suggestions for getting rapid relief. Great reference for therapists and their clients!

Great app, help me tons with pain!

I love this app!! It helps tremendously for asking clients where their pain is by having them identify it with the trigger point markers. It helps me visualize the muscles in the body as well and the information is accurate!

Great reference tool

Great app video are really useful!

This app is amazing. Great graphics! Easy to find muscles and their trigger points.

I use and recommend this app regularly. It has truly made a difference in recovering from pain and injury and is so helpful in talking with healthcare providers

Complet

C’est une superbe ressource pour comprendre le fonctionnement musculaire, les douleurs et leur origine. La version pour iPad est plus agréable à parcourir et il reste des améliorations à apporter à la convivialité. Mais merci et chapeau aux concepteurs pour ce tour de force.

I use this app regularly & love it!!!

This app has came in to great use to explain to clients what muscles are being potentially the cause of their pain and to explain what muscles are being treated. Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time on creating this app. You all are amazing & talented. It is very helpful!

I use this app on a daily

Amazing app!! I love it!

Good

Helpful reference. Like that I can search by the area of pain. Thanks. MB physio clinician and instructor

I am a visual learner & this app helps me a lot! Thank you, gene lebumfacil nillas, RMT- BC CANADA

Easy to use and great to have on the go when I’m with clients.

This app is so useful and I almost use it daily. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you! Crystal

My 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.

The app is great and the update is awesome!

This 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.

I 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.

Très utile pour moi et facilite la compréhension des patients

This app is a great quick reference when I have some questions. It's easy to use and the images are quite sufficient.

I am an Acupuncturist and I use this app often in my practice. It is a great quick reference for trigger point referral patterns. What I like and find useful is that it has referral patterns for each individual trigger point in a specific muscle.

Its as perfect as i was hoping!

A wonderful app. Very well researched and presented. Easy to use.

The videos are great and the way the trigger points are outlined is perfect. Great job!

I used to like this app, but it appears that it is no longer being maintained and updated. It’s been a while since I used it and went in recently to look up an issue, and the images no longer display properly on the screen. I see that the last update was over a year ago, so the app is obviously not being maintained and updated. Don’t waste your money.

I am not getting sound on videos
