“Get to the point“ with TRIGGERDINGER
The TRIGGERDINGER are small handy tools for the treatment of trigger points. Trigger points are maximally tense points within the myofascial system. To relieve these tensions, pressure must be applied to these specific points. However, it is often difficult to reach the painful knots in the muscle and fascia tissue.
TRIGGERDINGER has taken on this problem. With the TRIGGERDINGER you can release your tense painful points more precisely than with any other fascial tool. The special thing about them: The TRIGGERDINGER are modeled on the shape of a human thumb and are equipped with practical anti-slip nubs.
A major problem that often occurs during manual self-treatment of trigger points is the loss of strength in the thumb that occurs after a short time. With the TRIGGERDINGER you can apply a sufficiently long steady pressure on your trigger points without losing your grip. In addition, you can also treat those parts of the body that you would otherwise not be able to reach yourself.
The practical tools for trigger point massage are available in different sizes, shapes, heights and head diameters, so everyone will find a suitable TRIGGERDING!!
With TRIGGERDINGERN you treat trigger points right to the point.
Extensive fascia massage with the BLACKROLL®
The epitome of the fascia roller: The BLACKROLL®! In the meantime, it belongs to the standard equipment of all practices, fitness studios and living rooms and it is hard to imagine life without it.
You use the BLACKROLL® for areal massages.
The BLACKROLL® is available in different types of hardness from soft to very hard and different surfaces. In addition, BLACKROLL® also has a mini version for smaller muscles in its portfolio.
TRIGGERDINGER vs. BLACKROLL® – punctual vs. large-scale
But which is the better tool of the two? Clearly, there is no such thing as THE best tool for treating fascial and muscle structures! The tools have in common that you can control the intensity of the treatment by shifting your body weight, but otherwise they differ from the bottom up.
TRIGGERDINGER are used to treat maximum tense trigger points at specific key points. To release these points, permanent pressure must be applied to them. With the BLACKROLL® we roll over large areas of our tense muscle and fascial structures to stimulate and stretch them.
How and when do I use the BLACKROLL® and a TRIGGERDING?
Before you start rolling or triggering, we will explain when and how you can best use the tools to achieve optimal results and avoid contraindications.
Before the workout
Before your workout, you want to warm up and activate your muscles, right? That’s why you should start with short applications at this time. These should be intense and dynamic or, in the case of triggering, include dynamic elements, such as moving the extremities.
After the workout
After training, our myofascial system is tired and irritated. Our cells want to be optimally supplied again as quickly as possible. Through gentle rolling and gentle triggering, you can promote lymphatic flow and thus improve the supply of your cells.
Outside the training session
To address the myofascial system most effectively, we recommend an extra stretching and triggering session! The body is not under stress nor is the organism fatigued. Optimal conditions to stretch myofascial structures in a targeted manner and to release trigger points.
TRIGGERDINGER vs. BLACKROLL® – our conclusion
With a TRIGGERDING, for example, you reach trigger points that are responsible for irritations of the sciatic nerve. With the BLACKROLL®, on the other hand, one generally loosens the tissues of the gluteal muscle. So generally speaking: With the fascia roller you can activate and pre-stretch your tissues and then still specifically release your pain points with a TRIGGERDING. This way you can achieve the best results in muscle and fascia massage and offer your body a holistic therapy.
