Treating trigger points is a useful adjunct to many therapeutic techniques for reducing tension in fascia and relieving pain. The equipment can help to locate the points using the in-built point-finder, but this function must not be used on pacemaker patients since it passes a micro-electrical current through the body. After treatment revisiting points will give measurable results in terms of resistance and thus release. Application Guidelines 820nm: Palpate, locate, and treat trigger points at the settings below.
