Trigger Point Release | Upper Trapezius, Levator Scapulae and Suboccipitals | No Tools Needed 

Your video has changed my life! I had chronic neck pain and headaches, and tried heat and ice and all kinds of muscle rubs, and nothing worked. After following your video, and changing my posture, my neck pain is basically gone. Thank you so much!

Can the Levator and/or Trapezius cause vision disturbances if they are really aggravated?

These are the three areas I've had issues with for years. Also front of neck trapezoid area.

Amazing, lovely lady, thank you.

Good

You should consider having two cameras recording simultaneously and do a picture in picture view of the rear camera in the bottom right. This way, your viewers can accurately view the positioning of fingers for hidden areas.

I have an ache that sounds like trapezius. On right side top of shoulder, uptrend neck and up to ear. Thanks for treatment approach.

Can we have the closeups of the spots? I don't understand your verbal location instructions

You provide some really valuable information but would be much better if you had the camera show your fingers actually placed in the locations you mention. The visual makes this so much better. Thanks.

This was really great with one exception. I have no idea where you're putting your fingers for the suboccipital. Would have been nice to have a diagram or a camera view from the back side. Otherwise thank you I like this so much I downloaded it

👍

Thanks for your efforts Would you make a video about your eating style

You should show you back in the videó in oder to sem where you touch the points

Doing this makes the spots more sore and agitated the following days. Any advice for people who respond like me? Thinking of trying trigger point injections since PT, chiro, and massage have not helped to resolve this.

Thank you for this. The suboccipital technique was particularly effective. Question though. I have Ehlers-Danlos (hypermobile type) and receive biweekly medical massages to help keep the muscles supple enough to do the work my tendons and ligaments aren't doing well enough. My finger joints are quite flexible, so I use many tools for my in-between massage self-treatment sessions. I have used a racquetball in the past on the suboccipitals with good results. However, the traps just don't release with the amount of pressure I can safely exert with my fingers since they bend so much. I was considering either putting a hearing pad on the area to try and pre-warm/loosen it first, and/or using my Theracane on the area. Would either of those (or both) be as effective in releasing the trigger points in the traps? They're rock solid knots most of the time and causing additional flares across the back that have resulted in what feels like left sided rib pain, but I can tell it's just referred pain. (I've worked with Travell & Simmons' book for years, plus the Trigger Point Therapy manual by Davies & Davies.) I need to be cautious about accidentally overstretching or messing up my finger joints, so if the heat/Theracane idea works or if you have a better thought, I would absolutely love to hear it. ❤ Thanks for this and your other videos. I just subscribed. 😊

what to do if u have a clicking neck when u turn ur head?

❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘

What workouts exercises would work out the muscles that would pull these muscles in the other direction so that they're not forwardly developed?

Can you write the steps in comments ?

I have to be very light on pressure in order to not cause headaches. Would you recommend I try to do twice a day vs once? I’m working on posture and strengthening lower traps as well

that did help some, my posture can always be better then they are the back of my shoulder has bothered me since my whiplash how can i relieve that , thanks?

Hi. How often can we massage the trigger points and how long ? I have been having these since 6 months now 😢

When I sleep straight facing towards the ceiling than I have no pain in my upper portion of neck and the moment I sleep upside down or on any side than sever pain is in my head for the whole night and next morning unbearable pain it is

Kindly suggest exercise

is it bad to sleep on your side? For example, I have a knot in either my R trap or levator scap (or maybe an impingement?) ; is it bad to sleep on my right side? I try to keep my shoulder down but its one of the only positions I can get comfortable in. Thank you!

Hard to see where your fingers are placed... different view, maybe from behind would be more helpful. Explanation was good though.

Sure, two fingers will definitely release trigger point.

cant reach across myself arms too big, noooooooooooooooooo
