Over the years, research has continually strived to reduce the limitations, thus allowing improved performances over time. World records continue to be set verifying the presence of these improved efforts. The athlete has reached tremendous levels despite a glaring limitation which is present in all athletes. As muscles work to train or compete, a by-product of activity is the production and accumulation of waste products in the muscle. These accumulations, which are knots in the muscle, produce problems from which all athletes suffer, and can be virtually eliminated with proper knowledge and technique.
Trigger points accumulate as activity levels increase.
Each of us have a different rate of metabolism, or elimination of trigger points after exercise, but accumulation is inevitable. Once a trigger point forms in a muscle fiber, the muscle goes through several negative changes Trigger points can cause decreased blood flow shortened muscle decreased oxygen decreased nutrition stiffness delayed recovery Massage Until now, only elite and professional athletes have had the luxury of frequent massages, which partially reduces trigger point accumulation. Taking the time and cost into consideration, this treatment is not practical to the average athlete. This is one of the advanced tools that allows all athletes to better locate and eliminate trigger point accumulation multiple times per day. The application of this technique can be done alone, and is both easy and convenient.
