The advantage of the Pressure Pointer is that
while applying the pressure to the Trigger Points, the muscles
involved are able to be fully relaxed during treatment, allowing
deeper penetration and the ability to stretch. For treatment to
be effective, the specific Trigger Point, or contracted portion
of the muscle, must be contacted with firm, sustained pressure.

by using the large ball to briskly move around and
increase blood flow and tone of skin. As you begin
to feel tender areas, slow down and apply deeper
pressure, stop on each point and hold firm pressure
for about a minute. You may feel the point 'move'
under the ball, that's the 'releasing' feeling. Keep
some pressure on, follow the point along and
increase pressure again for about a minute again.
After several 'concentrations' on a point, you will
find pain in the area greatly reduced.
|Once you begin to feel
like you are pushing hard with your foot, move to a
smaller head and concentrate the pressure. As you
reduce the head size the precision and depth of the
pressure will increase dramatically. If you have
experience with Pressure Point therapy, especially a
vigorous technique like Shiatsu, you will find the
greatest effect from the smaller heads.

Pointer, other positions will increase your ability
to treat hard to reach areas. Treatment works best

one arm you can effectively treat areas of the neck.

weight of your head with the massager works great
for upper and lower neck problems..
