Great video - thank you 🙏 Can lower back trigger points cause tingling sensations in calf and foot? 🙏

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Yes they can 👍. Often when the trigger point is compressed it can send a referred sensation down the leg and as far as the foot. Other times the sensation may stay more local 👍. Hope this helps

Amazing video !! Thank you ❤ Could you do a video on how to treat si joint dysfunction 😊

Hello good night, lovely video, what's sp's and transverse?please and thank you

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Hi Racquel, ‘SP’s are Spinus Process and ‘transverse’ (across) is the direction of movement. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for this great video. My mom has lower back pain all the time, the pain is goes around to her lower belly on the right side making so much pain (to the point she thought the problem isn't with her lower back and it was just a stomach bloating that causes all that pain, but actually it's not). But when she gets some rest for some days (not doing so much chores) her pain relieved a little then she gains some energy and start doing the chores again then she gets that lower back pain again (this is happening all the time), So I was wondering if there were some massages techniques to minimize her pain or any other solution would be great.

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Yes definitely try feeling for any lower back trigger points as when the lower back is in spasm this can link to stomach pain and swelling. Plus try the back massage techniques shown in my other videos too, to see if they release some tension 👍

[@julietbrionestanjay2956]

I like it, but please send us a picture pionting to the trigger points

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏼. There are many images freely available on google for this which may help you 👍🏼. Kind regards and have a great day.

I have just started seeing a Clinical Masseuse. During the first massage treatment I had with her, she did this trigger point therapy. I am confused as to what she did. My issue is lower back pain due to lifting 25KG bags of gravel with poor technique. Can someone help me understand the following. 1. Why she used a tiny amount of pressure when searching for sources/points of pain. The pressure was so light I don't know how it would trigger any pain 2. She was trying to check for pain in my mid and upper back, when I have a direct issue with my lower back. I don't even remember her going near my QL or lower erector spinae area other than to lightly and briefly massage with her palms. Unsurprisingly, she didn't find any pain points throughout the 50 minute massage with this trigger point technique. I could have told her that she wouldn't find anything from minute 1 based on how light the pressure she was using was. One thing she did do was, she moved me into a stretch position and I indicated there was pain. This confirmed my QL is predominantly involved in my back pain. Although I am glad to have it confirmed that the QL needs to be focused on, I am not exactly sure what the rest of the massage achieved. Maybe it's helped her rule out a lot of things. I'd rather she got more hands on in fixing my lower back directly, but maybe I am impatient.

[@CoreElementsTraining]

I’m not trained in Chinese massage so I’m unable to provide some insight to the treatment provided. however if someone is experiencing lower back pain we often work on surrounding muscle groups and opposing muscles as they often contribute to the condition. If you didn’t feel much benefit from the treatment I would recommend looking for a Sports Massage Therapist, Sports or Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist. Plus also ask the therapist to explain why they have treated specific areas, used specific techniques as they’re often happy to explain the treatment and how it will help you. Hope this helps

[@footyball66]

@@CoreElementsTraining thanks for your reply. I didn't get Chinese massage, I saw a clinical masseuse. They did this trigger point therapy on me. I just don't understand the benefit of it, as she found nothing. I also knew she wouldn't find anything as surely I'd know if I had sensitive areas. I spent 60 minutes being touched gently in various places and felt no pain. So it all seems like it was a waste of time.

[@CoreElementsTraining]

@@footyball66 if the therapist didn’t provide a beneficial rounded treatment that eased your discomfort, then I’d recommended you try a different Sports, Clinical or physiotherapist. As yes, if the trigger points technique is applied correctly you will feel discomfort and they will apply the pain scale to measure this. This technique isn’t used in isolation, as it combined with other techniques too. kind regards

[@brianoliveira8651]

Are trigger points the same as knots?

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Trigger points often create a deeper sensation that stays local or travels when compressed. If the 'knot' doesn't increase in intensity or send a traveling sensation when pressed it's likely not a trigger point.

[@brianoliveira8651]

@@CoreElementsTraining Oooooo, can the techniques shown also be used to treat tight knots then?

[@CoreElementsTraining]

@@brianoliveira8651 yes they can, along with friction technique 👍

[@brianoliveira8651]

@@CoreElementsTraining does your KZbin channel show any friction techniques for the back?

[@CoreElementsTraining]

@@brianoliveira8651 if you look At the videos on our L4 massage playlist, you should find a demo (without looking through them all myself, I can’t remember which one it’s in). Thanks

[@nia5128]

I love your videos Dawn. May I ask, is it ok to use circular motions over the TrP’s whilst using pressure and/or friction techniques? Can you show us release work for the iliopsoas please? Also, in your video regarding deeper work on the back, you rightfully say to avoid spinous processes but should we avoid transverse processes as well? I would love to study level 5 with you but will need to save cash ☺️

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Yes absolutely Nia. You can start with static pressure and then after 30 seconds or so, use a circular motion or friction technique. I’ll make a note if iliopsoas release for when we’re next filming 👍. Plus no you don’t need to worry about the transverse processes as these aren’t as superficial as the SP’s. Hopefully we’ll see you on our L5 at some point if dates etc work for you 👍😁
