What is a trigger point (tsubo)?

Trigger points (tsubos) are specific points that are on meridian lines (energy pathways) along the body.

By stimulating trigger points (tsubos) you can help alleviate aches, pains, tension, fatigue and symptoms of disease. Stimulating a trigger point (tsubo) may initially feel sensitive when the flow of energy through the body is blocked but eventually, by stimulating the point energy will circulate increasing blood flow and relieving the pain.

Stimulating trigger points (tsubos) aides in maintaining health, vitality and stamina in the body, strengthens the internal organs and prevents energy from getting blocked.

5 Trigger Points to Relieve Pain:

HEADACHE:

- If you are feeling the headache in the front by your forehead press with your thumb on the palm of your hand near the thumb finger for 10-15 seconds repeat a few times.

- If you are feeling the headache in the back of your head press on your feet below the outer knub for 10-15 seconds.

SCIATICA:
