What’s New Version 6.6
Support for the newest phones.
Description
A reference for trigger points and referral patterns for 108 muscles. Features 160 trigger points with their corresponding referral patterns, 80 conditions that can be caused by trigger points, and 25 videos that show how to release specific muscles. Each muscle includes the visual referral pattern and point location, plus a written muscle action, referral, origin, insertion, nerve, comments, and audio pronunciation for each muscle. You can choose to view each muscle individually, or use the zones view to see all the muscles that refer into a specific area (or for a specific condition). This is a great help in discovering the source of pain.
This app features all the scientifically proven trigger points and referral patterns as shown in the research.
Trigger points are tight places in a muscle that cause pain to be felt elsewhere in the body. This is great for massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, or anyone wanting to discover the source of muscular pain, and learn about muscle function.
FEATURED IN APPLE'S WHATS HOT FOR TWO WEEKS!

Best Trigger Point App
I have had this app for years! I was trained in the Travell and Simons trigger point technique many years ago. As a former massage therapist who still loves to do trigger point to help others this app has come to my aid many times. I love it and highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect resource to apply trigger point therapy! It’s like looking at the charts or posters but better in 3D! Thank you to the creators for making such a valuable resource for those of us trained in body work and those who’d like to learn!

Trigger Point Helper
I do A LOT of deep tissue work on athletes, and it helps to use the app quickly to refresh my memory of places to focus.

I use this at least once a week.
65. Highland game heavy athlete. Rock lifter. Sandbagger. Known as “el monstruo” at the quarry. Martial ages since age 8. Incurred a lotta damage. This app helps a lot if you’re are or have been foolish or just are unlucky in love, life or physics.

Helped Trendously
This has really helped me figure out many sources causing my plantar fasciitis that even my doctor didn’t know about. Somehow my podiatrist was only thinking the sources coming from the foot and not all the way up to my calves. I’m also seeing tight places that could be causing my TMJ. Very worth it.

Been using this helpful App for 15 years!
This app has come in handy so often. I refer it to all of my new hires immediately upon hiring them!

Educational and Helpful
I got this app back in 2009 when I was going through school and I still use it. Highly recommended

Awesome
I truly was blessed awhile ago to meet someone who used this app to help me with my pain management. And I second guessed it at first and didn’t use it but I started getting pain again and took the time to learn about the human body. And this app brought me back to my high school days learning about the human anatomy. Thank you for the knowledge that our creator have blessed you guys with. I’m impressed. Even with the new update videos wow. Great job!

Fantastic. Well- organized and easy to use!
No clutter here (what a breath of fresh air)! Wish more app designers knew this concept. Just started using it to work on a variety of aches and pains and it has already helped with my jaw pain after working on 3 trigger points. Love it and wish I’d found it sooner!

Very useful...like this app
More detail on relationship of pressure point to point of pain, and order or sequence of points when applying pressure would be helpful.

My go to
I’ve used this app to identify and relieve pain on many occasions. Workdays and more importantly vacation days that I would have been less active have been saved with finding and releasing the offending trigger points.

Super helpful app!
Unlike most of my apps, this one is truly helpful in my quest to understand and help my body feel better!
Methefreedoc2025-02-02

Such a help!
Learning about trigger points and how to treat them was a life saver. To be able to find, ID and “repair” on the fly is a Godsend. Thanks for a quite thorough app that explains and shows the vast majority of possible pain centers. A valuable additional advantage is to show others how it works and how they might find relief.

Great App
I have used this app in clinical practice as an acupuncturist regularly. I teach acupuncture and recommend this app to my students every year. I supervise in a student clinic and it is so helpful to show interns and patients the pictures as they are describing pain patterns. Beautiful graphics! It is set up better for practitioners than lay-folks (need to know muscle names) but still very useful.

Just the right touch
I rarely need more info. So for a free app it’s pretty amazing and very helpful to quickly search for a clients trigger points and what to do to help them.
Lastersgirl2024-09-11

Outstanding
I am a physical therapist and this app is SO helpful in my practice. I can show the radiating pain patterns to patients and help them understand why I may be treating an area other than the site of their pain. It also help me in identifying possible sources of peripheral pain as well.

Thank you
I’m 74 and have Ehlers-Danlos, a congenital condition affecting connective tissue. This app helps me identify the anatomy of the muscles painfully impacted by my Hypermobility. I can be more effective in relieving pain.

Incredibly useful time and time again
I’ve had this app for I want to say like 10 years and it has served me well. Better than the other apps of trigger points.
