Trigger Point Release - Supraspinatus

Rotator Cuff Tutorial: This video presents the anatomy of the supraspinatus muscle and it's role within the rotator cuff (shoulder) group. We present how to locate trigger points and how they may be released.
This video is an extract from the NAT online course - Treating Rotator Cuff Injuries. See link below:
nielasher.com/...
The course includes an easy-to-digest but comprehensive overview of the rotator cuff, common rotator cuff injuries, with a focus on trigger points and trigger point treatment protocols.
The course text is fully illustrated and supported by video classes that cover the anatomy, the evidence, and trigger point therapy treatment protocols.

This was amazing. Recognised that South African accent immediately. ,More to the point I have been suffering from acute pain around the Supraspinatus join at the head of the humerus radiating into my upper arm. I thought and was advised that it was most likely a partial tear of the supraspinatus and followed a regime of excercise that has had no effect whatsoever. This has been ongoing for over 3 months and I have long since resigned myself to the fact that i'll probably need surgery. However a short popped up on my feed which I followed to the video, after watching I used a dowel and attempted to approximate the trigger point pressure, very inexpertly and awkwardly I might add. Almost immediately I experienced an increased range of movement and a drop in my pain index. I am really excited that I'll regain full function and be able to hit the gym again after a few more tries. Thank you!

We're thrilled to hear our video helped! Keep practicing the trigger point technique gently and regularly. We wish you a speedy recovery and a swift return to the gym. 💪

So lee I have the same problem been 9 months. When I pressed down on this pain went away but after letting go pain returns. So Lee what exactly did you to completely eliminate the pain???

[@Leec_1972]

@@shamoonali786 Unfortunately a haven't completely eliminated the pain. Pressure at those points is quite awkward and has to be held for around 2 minutes at a time. I used the pointy neoprene covered end of a massage roller.
However, a visit to a chiro with shoulder x-rays and ultrasound in hand and a bout of dry needling from the Chiro has helped a lot too. Unfortunately, it seems to be a long-term issue to resolve.

This was the best channel I found for my problem.
Do you have a practise in the UK ?

[@totallyraw1313]

I wonder if it is the trigger point therapy that is making the muscle release, or the very calming and soothing way in which you speak?
