This collection shows the posts discussing pain patterns and the trigger point referral posts currently available on this site. They are listed alphabetically by title. You can select the pain pattern relevant to your interest and click on it.
Remember that people usually feel only a portion of the overall pain pattern. Often, people feel pain in the darkest red zone. Although some will only complain of pain in the areas shown in lighter red.
We will be adding new posts and updating some of the older ones.
These posts include:
- Trigger point patterns and how people describe the pain
- How do you activate and intensify the pain pattern
- Self-care to show you how to get quick relief on your own
- Stretches and exercises that provide longer-lasting relief
- Brief anatomy review of the involved muscle
- Yoga poses that open this muscle
- Treatment notes for therapists
Note that we are in the process of converting these posts into a more informative and accessible format. Thank you for your patience.
This website is being revised, and some posts have not yet been converted to newer images and formats.
