- Welcome back to the Recovery Lab!!! Today, I wanted to cover some foundational knowledge, that can really take your manual therapy game up a notch if your a clinician...and if your a patient, understand exactly what those pesky little knots really are, and help you be proactive in addressing them!!! I get asked this ALL THE TIME! WHAT ARE TRIGGER POINTS? OR KNOTS IN MY MUSCLES? WHY DO THEY HURT SO BAD? WHY DO THEY KEEP COMING BACK? All of these questions haunt a vast majority of my clients, so I am sure there are folks out there struggling with the same issue. Hopefully this can help!
I also want to thank all of you subscribers for your continued support. To see the growth of this channel in recent weeks is really blowing my mind, and it has inspired me to come up with new and better content! I am going to go full force into this RUclips thing, so please stay tuned, and reach out!!! Let me know what you want to see!
So, seriously, THANK YOU!!! If you know anyone who these videos may help, please share, and help me spread the word!!!

I'm a massage therapist in Denmark.
and let me tell you that you teach me so much! so much more than I ever did during the course o took to become a massage therapist ! I really appreciate your videos. you definitely know what you're talking about , and I am not questioning anything you say.
I hope you will keep uploading videos.
one thing I would like was for you to make a video on how to get those calves go loosen up. I deal with a lot of runners , and especially the medial side of the calves seem to be a trouble point. any advise ? perhaps a video on that topic ?
Thanks for the love man Kevin!!!! I appreciate your comment! Yes, more videos will keep coming. It is an honor to help inspire others like yourself, and I am so thankful you appreciate my work! I will defintiely make a video especially for you!!!!! Stay tuned!
You have some of the best PT videos I’ve ever seen. Most informative and educational ones around. Please keep the videos coming. You deserve a ton more followers.
This video is gold. I'm a LMT student and we're currently doing our Trigger Point course and this is one of the most helpful resources I've found yet. Thank you so much for this! Do you have any text or online resources that you'd recommend to dive into Trigger Point theory further?
Love the foundational workshops, thank you
Great stuff brother! Amazing video
Great video! What is the difference between a vibration massager and percussion massager on a neuro and physiological perspective. Thanks!
Thanks James!!!!! Percussion massagers actually create a pulse in the tissue and have a deeper penetration depth. Generally they are more effective, more expensive, and they are a bit more uncomfortable. Vibration massagers, are basically just vibration, could help with blood flow and feeling better, but they wont hit as deep....If your an athlete, or a clinician, percussion is the way to go....especially if its adjustable, it can cover both grounds....
How do I find a good manual therapist like you near me? There is nobody like this in Maine.
I would love if you can do a video for writs injuries, I know you work with sportsmen/women but people who spend lots of time in front of screen has a lot of wrist issues that goes up to elbow, I have a spot near my elbow always sore.
Great Idea! Ill work on something!
I got this in my pec minor And abdomen from too much bad posture phone use I wish they were anywhere else on my body because my mind can’t stop freaking out because there’s a lot of important organs there obviously
Any recommendations to get certified for scrapping?
Its called IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization.) I teach certifications in this through RockTape. Its called FMT Blades and Blades Advanced. You can sign up for a webcast on rocktape.com/education. Right now, training is 50% off!
Hello, sir. when compared these instruments, which instrument is more effective in these instruments. Which material you prefer first for trigger points and muscle spasms.
Mike, do you have any recommendations for Massage Schools in the Sacramento area? Saw you on Power Project. Thanks!
What's the difference between a knot in muscle and trigger point?
Trigger points are the knots in the muscle!!! Like I said in the video, not actually a knot, just "feels tight" and is that dense point in the tissue. AKA Trigger points!
I love this.
LOOOVE the content man..
Ricki Porter thanks man!!! Appreciate the support!
Hello my daughter has AMPS - and receives trigger point therapy shots from a doctor. How can I contact you?
Hi, great video! Do you know any practitioners you would recommend in Tucson Arizona by any chance?
cihidalgo thanks for the compliment!!! I do not know anyone personally there. But check the "mobility wod list". Practitioners on there are vetted and may have a similar approach. Good luck!!!!
