Wooden Trigger Stick

The Wooden Trigger Stick is an ergonomically shaped tool made from a natural material for precise work on the trigger point. It sits easily and comfortably in the hand: you work with the stick instead of your fingertips. That makes it particularly interesting for therapists with several appointments back to back. It is versatile in use – on patients as well as for self-treatment.

Wood is a natural material and feels different in the hand from plastic – the stick follows the palm instead of pressing against it. Its ergonomic shape gives you clear guidance: you control the pressure from the hand and still work precisely, rather than with your fingertips alone. Within the category the stick is the tool for working on someone else – balls work under your own body weight, the stick is guided by hand and so also reaches deep-lying points, for example in the neck. It comes out of the practice and seminar work of the Institut für Myologik and is made from a natural material. If you work on patients and would rather not rely on your fingertips alone, the Wooden Trigger Stick is the right choice.
