I got an upper traps triggers, I'm 25 & I'm chronically in love with the gym. I'm a medical undergraduate studying in 5th year of mbbs. from the past few days I came to know that trigger point resolution is not a permanent thing, it comes again & again. i have to live with it, Frankly speaking this is so frightening for someone of my age & passion (gym) to hear. i have consulted a physiotherapist but deep down i know it's life long & I have to deal with it... currently i have taken rest from gym but i don't know how long would i keep myself away from gym. the bottom line is... despite being a doctor i lost my Youth, my energy & my life to a single fuckin issue that is not ready to leave me ever after 😭😭😭

This is good advice for preventing injury, but if anyone else ended up here because of an existing injury it is pretty unnecessarily catastrophising. I know many many musicians who had ongoing pain related to their playing, got proper treatment, and went on to have long professional careers. The last thing you need to hear if you're already stressed about an injury is "You've walked off a cliff and your career is over. Tough luck." It also risks adding a psychological component to your pain. If you've wandered into this video because you're looking for musician RSI info to help with your problem, then calm down and keep resting and doing what your physio/doctor says and you will probably be fine ♥

Hi! Interesting information. However, the link to the page is not accessible. Can you please update the link?

I know exactly where to stick my back, im buying needles

I am a family physician and I see so many patients with trigger point disabling pain. I am going to apply it in my clinic . I am suffering from same kind of pain in my upper back too.

Thank You!

I had 3 back surgeries L4-S1. 2 surgeries included fusion. My biggest 2 problems are sitting hurts a lot, and both feet hurt a lot from ankle down. Both feet burn like I’m putting them in an oven, especially nighttime. Also right foot feels like people have r trying to rip it out of the socket. I have to sleep or sit on ice and can only sleep on a recliner, and be nocked out with sleeping medicine. I go to Pt for 9 years . Had Accupuncture, epidural shots, dry needles, shots even in ankles. I’m not diabetic or prediabetic. My A1C is fine as well as all B levels. They keep blaming scar tissue, arthritis, neuropathy, poly neuropathy, but no one can help . I can feel when I sit like tailbone pressing , as I sit. They did a mri on coccyx, showing severe orthopedic. I got all these excuses., but one helps. A month ago I even did a second stimulator, but no relief. I saw an orthopedic Dr, who said he couldn’t help. I’m exhausted and depressed over this. I tried everything under the sun

I work out a lot and still have chronic pain, too many KZbin videos saying exercise helps chronic pain? I've been doing it for years while struggling with chronic pain, I feel I'm getting worse most days...

Thank you for this video, I've been following you on another channel for trigger points. Also believe in the power of negative thoughts, I will try the technique you described out. Thank you very much!!

You said in your previous video that this video would give instructions on how to relieve pain brought on by certain muscles. No instructions were given on this video. More of click on the next video to find out more. Meanwhile, you already have me falling asleep to your speech. No treatment information given and I doubt any other video you provide helps with any relief. Stop dragging this out.

How would you go about this with a rare form of musician’s focal dystonia being singer’s dystonia which is a rare form of spasmodic dysphonia that happens with singers and only in particular voice tasks? My case , my chest voice never worked from a particular age but i Didnt know that was the problem so i just went about learning classical technique and did amazingly well learning it. My mixed voice and head voice worked pretty well. After 10 years of emocional suppression and stress in a social group, i developed extreme muscle tension in high notes using chest voice and an airy tone that comes only after a particular pitch using head voice and vocal cord spasms of both abductor and adductor types that can come using head voice after a particular pitch too. I have tried everything when it comes to speech therapy and singing exercises but indeed, the brain doesnt respond to the same neuropathway it already has. It seems my serotonine expression got completely messed up, along with dopamine which in itself messes up other things too. Please , there are no videos on this because it is so rare. It would Help me and possibly other ppl that have been affected by this neurologic configuration to know specifically how to go about this . Thank you!!!

Hello Jonathan, I came to you years ago…. I’m currently in a pretty bad state and would love to chat about it but I’m told you’ve retired from working with patients.

Companionship, play, and laughter, along with daily prayer time with God; very very helpful.

This was a well paced and encouraging presentation for chronic pain. Slow and steady will win this race. Especially if you have a pup to walk and play with and who grows and needs care from the human. Fantastic plan to ,stepwise, get function back.

This first few words are unimaginably depressing. It makes it difficult to even watch the rest of the video

I hope you are well Jonathan. Seems like your website link is for sale. Is the chart still available somewhere?

Hi Dr Kuttnet, wow! I’m so glad I stumbled on this video. I’ve been dealing with chronic tension headaches for three years. In my journey I have found regular remedial massage targeting the trigger points in my upper traps is the only effective management for my condition. But like you say, it comes back. Would love to know how you delve deeper into the root cause?

Good one thanks for sharing 👍🙏

I came here after your last video about tooth ache trigger points. Because you said you’d give us a way to stop them. But you’re just sending us to a website. And I’m still in pain. 💔

Always AMAZING Dr. Kuttner

Chronic Pain Cycle 😊 Nice expression

Thank you

Beautiful clear explanations. Thank you so much.

The website doesnt work anymore 😔

Hello I have severe trigger point issues. I have had injections, TENS treatment, acupuncture, massage etc and within a day I am back to pain. I understand why I have pain but u didn't really explain how to eliminate or really reduce the issue. Please help

I just found this video it was published in 2014 everything you’re saying is so true and you say it so subtle but the message is profound. I am not a doctor but I have been a massage therapist for years what you’re saying about triggerpoints is absolutely unequivocally correct. I treated people working on their trigger points. My true education came when I worked on my own triggerpoints . To my surprise they came back chronically in my legs because I’m standing on my legs all the time or in my traps or in my arms from working on clients. I stopped working as a massage therapist after about 10 years and it took me almost 10 years to dissolve triggerpoints in my legs but I finally did because they continually came back until I guess you send a signal back to the brain that there’s no need to come back again is what I’m thinking. I never heard anyone express triggerpoints the way you have an a lightbulb came on.

Hi, Is there another video on this journey and what is it called? Many thanks.

love your videos, they are very helpful, ive had chronic neck pain for 6 years now. thanks again!!!!

Dr Kuttner, thank you so much for your you tube videos. I’m working my way though them to help me understand how to treat myself. I only have one or two recurring active TrPs, but I have latent TrPs in every muscle that I have looked for them! The lower back pain from the active TrPs is easily managed through massaging my left Gluteus medius. While the latent TrPs don’t cause direct pain, the dysfunction they cause make my muscles spasm and tense up. From my own research I now know that I have both Morton’s Toe and Rothbart’s Foot, anterior pelvic tilt, mild scoliosis. To treat these I use a Morton’s-specific insole (Prokinetics from Posture Dynamics), and I perform daily stretching exercises from Dr Jussi Timgren’s work on reversing functional scoliosis. I also use Simons’ and Travell’s work along with the Davies’ TP manual to help target any problematic TrP flair-ups. The improvement since implementing these solutions has been amazing. But (!) I still struggle with the muscle dysfunction - particularly from the waist to my feet. I’m an agriculturer, and some days I’m crippled at the end of the day from simply having walked a lot. I’d be extremely grateful if you could point me to any of your work on treating latent TrPs for the whole body (where to start/focus?), treating Myofascial pain syndromes caused by Rothbart’s/Morton’s foot and also treating anterior pelvic tilt. Just a small request!!! Appreciate your work very much! Margaret R

I'm sorry I failed to include Dr. Jonathan Kuttner.

Jonathan I have researched tons of folks explaining trigger point therapy. Yours is very concise, understandable and helpful. Thanks! My wife has been helping me and it works! I am just a general contractor 62 years of age. When someone has a sore back spot in their backaches if not most a result

This is one of his worse videos.

Can you see trigger points on ultrasound?

This is the BEST information I've seen ever!!!! I've been living with chronic pain for years and so far found NOONE with anywhere even close to the knowledge seen in your videos! It's a true halleluja moment for me!!! Just a shame I live so far away. . I just wanted to drop a note here and say THANK YOU for sharing all this educational information about pain and trigger points.

Please join our Facebook group to help share information on FD for musicians. facebook.com/groups/9022753084

Very helpful information and, despite the complexity of the subject, easily to understand.

Hello, thank you for expanding my mind on this subject. What if the pain is continuous whilst doing most physical activities? Is the pain system still involved in this process?

Wet needling is not as effective as dry needling

Why did you close your app and website? Very frustrating, I have told many about the website and then I find out you’ve closed everything. What the heck
