The human body is
amazing. There are 610 muscles in the body and at one time or another, any
one of them or many of them will develop tight, knot-like areas known as
trigger points. Trigger points have a number of causes such as overuse,
injury, illness or even everyday stress. If you are looking down at this
booklet right now and feel a burning sensation in your back, shoulders or
arms, or if there is pain in your "sitting" muscles, the pain is
most likely due to myofascial (muscle) trigger points. Now, if you were to
press with your thumb into one of these spots, you will experience a
"feel-good hurt." What is actually happening is that the pressure
you're applying is "releasing" or softening these tight spots within
the muscle. The good news is that for
as many tight, painful "trigger points" you can feel in your body,
there are just as many uses for the Relax Mat®. To look at this tool, you
might say, "What in the world could this be used for?" Yet once you
use this "bodywork" tool to press into a tight, shortened, painful
muscle you find that this strange-looking mat is nothing short of incredible!
By using this Relax Mat® regularly and properly, you can experience
significant relief from myofascial pain due to trigger points. This web site will tell
you about the Relax Mat® and show you how to use it on myofascial
trigger points, using an array of press and
stretch techniques such as
HUG-A-MAT,
PRESS-A-MAT, and even
GLUT-A-MAT.
Once you have learned the basic techniques, you can identify, chart, and use
the Relax Mat® on your own personal array of trigger points. The
