There are many ideas and theories as to what ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ are, in essence they are the same thing. The simplest answer is that they are areas within your muscles that when palpated (felt through the skin), you feel a nodule, small bump or just plane tightness within the muscle.
๐จ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: There are other things in the body that can feel lumpy. If you are unsure as to what you are feeling go ask your medical professional.
๐ The intent and design of my book, ๐โ๐ ๐ด๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ is to aid you in taking better care and control of your body and improve your knowledge of how to manage your pain and limitations. By pinpointing and treating your own trigger points with the use of inexpensive items, some of which can be found around the house, I hope to impart upon you ways to alleviate these areas of tightness and make the ๐๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ disappear!

All four of the items shown above are practical tools to assist you in your physical well-being journey! You will see them demonstrated a lot in my future posts (and throughout my books) but see below for a brief synopsis of each to hold you over ๐ :
๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐: This tool is fantastic for stretching and pressure point release! They come in different densities (how hard it is) as well as with ridges. Pick one you like and letโs roll!
๐ช๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐: This can be as simple as taking an actual cane handle or purchasing a special device such as the Thera Caneยฎ. I personally like the @TheraCaneยฎ (pictured) as it is easy to use and can hit many hard to reach places while sitting in the comfort of your home.
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐: One of the easiest items with which to massage yourself. Very versatile to use as you will soon find out. It can be used either full size or cut in half (explained in a future post!). I have not found that one brand is better than another, if anyone feels differently, please DM me and let me know! ๐พ
๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐: Similar to a rolling pin but with fancy knobs or discs on it to help penetrate the muscle deeper than a rolling pin could go. The @RangeRollerโข, pictured above, is an example of a massage stick that I personally like due to the varying levels of thickness of the discs. Other options can be purchased at a local store or online!
What are some of your favorite tools to massage and/or stretch with?
