Hey I've been teaching massage therapy for 13 years, and this is a really excellent description of trigger points. The animation is top notch as well. Well done!
Thank you, Michiel Akkerman, for an excellent explanation and video. After almost 2 yrs. of pain and useless physical therapy, I went to a Pain clinic where I was treated by someone who was an expert in trigger points. Relief came very quickly and I was taught ways to prevent it from happening again. That was 8 yrs. ago. If only more medical personnel were taught about Trigger Points we would not have an epidemic of people gobbling dangerous painkillers, which only mask the problems, & do nothing to resolve it. Thanks again, this is a wonderful educational video.
But didnt the pain clinic give you trigger point injections? Thats just as bad as pills. The goal is to cure to problem, not cover the pain with numbing agents

I have had these pains in my back on and off for years. The pain starts like a pinching in my upper back and develops into what feels like a spasm all the way down to my lower back, it is so painful that I have to lay down and take the strain off my back. I didn’t even know what a trigger point is!! This video describes exactly where my pain is and where it is radiating to i.e my lower back and upwards to my arm, deltoid muscle. My physio therapist said that it is probably scar tissue and gave me lots of exercises to do, which don’t help but seem to make the problem worse. I have described this pain to my doctor and all he gave me was pain killers and muscle relaxants. After watching this video I think I might finally have some answers and some help. Thank you.
thank you so much..thought i was crazy..have been going to specialist after specialist for over 7 years..i thought i was going crazy ...and looked up knots in muscles...oh lord..i thank you so much the pain was unbearable..have gone to chiropractor specialist after specialist...this is GOD SENT...i'm serious..i'm so sick of the pain...have been getting them worked out by my hubby now..i was crying so hard today when he did my back..wanted to go to hospital..then i looked this up and found you...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
My doctor told me that i was faking the pain just to have a doctor's note just to stay at home and i am in so much pain every single day !:( The anti-flamatories , the muscles relaxants and tylenol is not doing nothing for me !:(
This may be an old video but it FINALLY explains what a trigger point really is. I have had this problem in my arm/shoulder for over a year now. The PT is treating is, but only now I understand what it actually is and how I can help cure it myself. Thanks!!
O... m.... f..... g !!!!!! I am 36 years old and I have got to say this is the MOST DETAILED and WELL EXPLAINED (both AUDITORY and VISUAL) video about anything I have EVER seen in my life !!!!!!!!! Jesús !!!! I love the simple words used to describe the problem, the affect it’s giving and recommendation for solution. You are the best teacher ever!!!! Imagine if our schools were like this?! Imagine if our teachers and professors taught like this?! You made learning soooo much fun !!!! Thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!!!!! This video will be used for many examples of how to explain things in life from here on out !!!! Thank you so much again and I Hope life is good for you, friend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Foreign accent... what foreign accent! Absolutely love this video. It is very clear, with excellent explanations. Trigger points are real and a cause of some very intense pain. I really appreciate the visual images provided and truly believe that when I next work with my tennis ball to get rid of the 'knots' being able to visualize the process will help with my brain body connection. Thank you very much for this post as well as the book referrals.
So very grateful this showed up in my feed. 19 yrs of chronic pain and I have finally seen information I understand and will be able to use. Thank You so very much for making & sharing this. 🙏🏻

Look for a Massage Therapist in your area that has a Certification in Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger points is one of six factors that we look for in pain patterns.
Get a theragun and ball. lacrosse ball, baseball ect. Find the spots that are sore and beat them to a pulp. That's what I have been doing and it's slowly but surely working. My back and knee were in so much pain I thought I was injured for life. Knee pain was 8 years back pain was 3, I figured out both stem from myofascial syndrome. No "experts" could help me. It's usually a "deep tissue issue" thats causeing problems. I'm able to squat without knee pain and sit without back pain when that was not an option just a couple weeks ago.
Can use thermal therapy. Allow the shower head to spray Hot water to the trigger points , the pain points as well as tip of skull ..., the duration and the heat depending on severity . Keep soles and palms dipped in Hot water ,up to the ankles and wrists for a few minutes, before wetting any other part of the skin for a few minutes; Drink warm water, detox, eat healthy, sleep under warm sheets ..... all to keep up smooth blood flow) Need to learn to Let Go, to reduce stress . Seek help in Solving or dissolving issues in life.., and in Practice of self love. Chronic stress, poor diet, lack of exercise leads to constipation and metabolism issues..,leading to toxic built ups.. .,weakens immunity, ruins the joints, eventually all 7 systems will crash.
I saw one so called 'fascia therapist' who pressed so hard at area at base of skull that she pushed atlas vertebrae out of place and upset vagus nerve on one side ... massive problems created from which I am still suffering months later. She also had earlier cause my entire rib cage and sternum to freeze up so that I could hardly breath .... I should never have returned but she did actually help me on one visit.
After watching this excellent video I bought a theracane and the Clair Davies Trigger point therapy workbook. For many years I've had low back pain and poor posture (rounded back) After 30 minutes using the theracane I found and treated multiple trigger points in my back and several in the erector spinae muscles either side of my spine, My lower back pain was gone and posture immediately improved. Well, who'd have thought that tight erector spinae muscles would stop my spine from being straight?!! Over the years I've spent a small fortune on chiropractors or osteopaths and now I'm wondering what for? Fixed myself better for less than £50...Thanks so much for posting this, changed my life !!
This was truly A Phenomenal video & honestly the only one on TH-cam that breaks down the deep physilogical realities of Trigger Points; where they are and how they become 'more' triggered and exactly how to release the tension for relief. The majority of videos only display relief options. Analytical people, visuals, Scientist or those who are simply curious need to see and understand this on this level!Thanks Again!
I always imagined the visualization of the traps and the trigger points but this video is golden! Thanks for confirming what i thought was imagination all these years!
I've been suffering from pain around the shoulder blades for some year, some days worse than others. It's often okey in the morning but in the efternoon it begins to get really stiff and aching, you feel it more when you push your shoulders forward. Its a real pain in the ass, incredible annoying. But i think this vid gave the explanation where the pain comes from. I just pushed my back against a wall with a tennis ball between and found atleast five points in my upper back area. feels already better, i gonna try this every day now. Thanks!
Wow that's the best explanation with phenomenal graphics to demonstrate trigger points and why release whether done by a therapist or with a tool such as the Body Back Buddy, etc. can improve this pain and muscle function.
Great video! I've been looking for a video like this that describes exactly how trigger points and myofascial release works in a visual way. Well done!
Great video! The only thing I would disagree on is the best treatment. Dry needling, which I have practiced for almost 3 years now, is by far the most powerful tool to treat trigger points an many other things. Check your areas to see if someone provides it!
Why do these people still waste time with these STUPID massage foam roller balls and lidocaine infusion. Damn near EVERY research paper says dry needling is the most effective treatment
Mr. Akkerman, I would like to thank you for sharing with us such detailed info. It was very helpful, after suffering whole day from myofascial pain, it was released with just small ball. Thanks a lot! Best of luck!
Thank you SOOO much. This is INCREDIBLE information. Showing to my husband to help me further explain our screaming trapeziuses. The two of us are a sight...
This is such a great educational video. I love the in depth zooms. The visualizations are so clear to help understand what trigger points are and why they cause pain.
Simple, clear, great video. Especially how the brain tells the body to stop using that area, which in turn makes the problem worse. I do that and I've felt so guilty about it. Thanks for making me see its all part of trigger point tricks.
I have been wondering about this for SO LONG! But my imagination could not understand how a knot could be formed. Please make more videos! You truly have a gift.
Thank you I am preparing for a national board exam in upper extremity and hand therapy. Trigger points, referrals patterns, and treatment/management is one of many topics I need to understand. This short video helped answer "why" do trigger points happen. I like your accent! :-)
I've been looking for this video for years! Thank you for the detailed description along with visuals. I have a hope for rapid relief and understand better how to manipulate the muscle to release all the trigger points I'm battling. ❤❤❤❤❤ God bless you!
This was excellent! The video is very professional and anyone should be able to understand. I too have fascia problems in my trapezius which I feel has referred the pain to my neck and I've also had impingement in my shoulder which I had an injection for but has started to hurt again so this might be the answer. Thank you for your informative video.
This is the best explanation I have found, thanks for posting this. I used to use a lacrosse ball and simply apply pressure directly to the trigger point but that did not give me very good results. Using the stroking motion to increase the blood flow has been far more effective, thanks
Wow..this was an eye opener to pain I've had for nearly 2 years. Thank you so much. In the description below you put " please don't mind my foreign accent"..I lived in Holland for quite a few years & I'm sure your accent is Dutch 😊
thank you Michiel Akkerman for this video..its really help me alot to understand the trigger point. this animation is so good and clearly explained the basic. tysm
Brilliant Work!! A very lucid and simple explanation of this complex topic. Hope more and more people will visit this page and encourage you to bring out more such animated videos.
Absolutely unbelievably brilliant from the visuals to the informed explanation to the in-depth treatment suggestions :D THANK YOU! Please do more! NMT? Myofascial release?
Sir', thank you taking the time to share this knowledge... so many people live with x through pain, x just don't make the coordinated adjustments, or any for that matter...it is your willingness to share x give, that is what matters x makes lives, our world, seem to turn, x flow the rite way... Thank you! Ricco- CPT
This was very helpful. My most painful trigger point is exactly where you pointed, between the scapula. I saw a video yesterday demonstrating the use of a vibrating ball between the trigger point and a wall. Your video explains why that works. I have been suffering for so long, I finally have hope for relief. Thank you for making this video.
Great animation and explanation, sent it to some of my clients for them to understand more why release is necessary. Mant thanks! Viktoria Personal Trainer
Sir....This was the best explanation I could ever get....And so I request u to upload some videos related to PNF and MFR and other therapy... Thank u so much sir.
This is an amazing animation, it's pleasant to watch... now I need to find that lacrosse ball and get to rollin!!! This nursing students back thanks you, doc ;o
Bro; if you made an entire video/DVD of possible trigger points of the body with this type of animation; with your voiceover explanations; and sold it at an affordable price; you’d make out pretty damn good, my friend.
Wow thanks! I was recently diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis but I can manage it alright mostly. Worse pain is in my hips and now my right side back thigh. I can't seem to sit anywhere without it triggering the area and causing all day and most night pain. I have to ice it for several hours in bed basically freezing it. Pain will dissapate or still be there. I have a great massage kit that a Chiropractor recommended but some pain points are so deep, I can't reach with the massager. I will try the wall and ball thing. Appreciate it and have an awesome day!

Thank you for this video. You did a great job! I am a nurse practitioner and would like to use this video to educate patients. With your permission I would like to show this video during my lectures about trigger points and treatment options that do not involve narcotics for pain management. Of coarse, all credit will be listed in the presentation as you the creator with a link to your video. Thank you so much and again great explanation.
Hey I've been teaching massage therapy for 13 years, and this is a really excellent description of trigger points. The animation is top notch as well. Well done!
I suffer from the same problem with shortness of breath. Can you tell your experience and how to treat it?
I'm a massage Therapist, this is a great video and will pass it on to clients when they want a better understanding of a Trigger Point
Do u give happy endings

what pain clinic did you go to, please ? i'm really interested because trigger points are literally ruining my life...
But didnt the pain clinic give you trigger point injections? Thats just as bad as pills. The goal is to cure to problem, not cover the pain with numbing agents
How did they treat it ?

A nice clear explanation of trigger-point theory and massage technique. The problem I have is in finding therapists who REALLY know how to do it.

Very best blessing I’ve had in a while, and believe me I’ve been searching! So much thanks!
Very good explanation and visual for people who are new to working on their own soft tissue. Well done

Mr Akkerman! Most complete and useful video i have ever seen on this subject! Thank you
This was incredible visual. Thank you. The animation was amazing
Great video bro! I like the detailed animation that lets me grasp the concept so much easier 👍
This was an awesome video. I've had a knot exactly where the ball was placed in the animation for two years.
Same! Since college 😩
This is the best explanation I have found, thanks for posting this. I used to use a lacrosse ball and simply apply pressure directly to the trigger point but that did not give me very good results. Using the stroking motion to increase the blood flow has been far more effective, thanks
Wow..this was an eye opener to pain I've had for nearly 2 years. Thank you so much. In the description below you put " please don't mind my foreign accent"..I lived in Holland for quite a few years & I'm sure your accent is Dutch 😊
very important, if you want to understand the workings, shown so simply, incredible, thanks, Michiel...
Perfect! I have shown this to many patients. Great video. Thank you.
This is the best video I have ever seen as far as explaining trigger points found in the human body.
This video is so helpful and easy to understand for non-medical people. Thank you!!

Great work on this video. It's good see Dr Travell's work being used so effectively.
Thank you so much for this video. It makes it much easier for me to learn something when I can see an example
Brilliant Work!! A very lucid and simple explanation of this complex topic. Hope more and more people will visit this page and encourage you to bring out more such animated videos.
