Heres a great animation of what is a Trigger Point is and how to alleviate pain at home. https://youtube/watch?v=sltGyJvbvWw Lisa, Im not sure if Frank has liked my page or not, but when I treated his sternum he had an active trigger point at T10 attaching to his sternum on the left. I have told him that he needs to use a tennis ball over this area on a daily basis (as often as possible) to deactivate this trigger point. He can have one at home, one at his office, and one in the car (roll over his rib whilst sitting at traffic lights). This video shows the benefit of doing this. These following links show pictures of the active trigger points that relate to Franks condition and why he felt like he was having a heart attack. He did the right thing though going to the hospital. We never want to play around with chest pains. triggerpoints.net/triggerpoints/sternalis.htm, triggerpoints.net/triggerpoints/intercostal.htm Please encourage him to do this self help exercise as he does not have to suffer with pain. One year is too long. :)
