Trigger points are specific, hyper-irritable and hypersensitive areas in muscle that can suffer from decreased circulation, increased contraction and spasm, and a build up of toxins and waste. Lack of circulation creates a high level of toxins and increased nerve sensitivity that can range from a low ache to a sharp pain.
Healthy muscle fibers are neither contracted nor stretched when at rest. When contracted the muscle fibers are closer together and when stretched, further apart. In a muscle that is causing pain, the fibers develop a knot and are in a constant state of contraction. The fibers around the knot are stretched by the excess tension and the muscle fibers become tighter.
With the continuous contraction, blood flow is restricted in the area and essential oxygen and nutrients are prevented from reaching the muscle tissue. This causes toxins and waste to build up in the muscle and you will experience trigger point pain, tension, irritation, and spasm.
Now, just because the trigger point causes the pain does not mean that the spot is painful itself. When the pain is located at the tense muscle spot it is called a primary trigger point. However, pain can also manifest itself in areas away from the active trigger point - such pain is called referred pain. It is important to treat the spot that causes the referred pain and not the location of the pain itself.
Trigger points cause pain more often than any other condition and are drastically under-diagnosed due to lack of information. Trigger point pain is usually a factor in most injuries although treating the trigger points is often overlooked. A common condition related to triggers points is known as myofascial pain.
The trigger point area will usually become more tender or sting when you push on the spot and the referred pain will increase in intensity. Other symptoms include:
Tender trigger points typically develop from lack of stretching or improper stretching but can also be caused from stress/trauma, overuse of a muscle, using incorrect equipment (i.e. a can that's too long, shoes without the correct support), or even poor posture or biomechanics.
Reduced circulation in trigger points will eventually lead to muscle shortening and restricted movement which further accentuates the pain, thus completing a cycle of decreased mobility and further pain. This commonly becomes the underlying cause of chronic pain, and the patient will continue to suffer until the problem trigger points are treated directly.
Mild trigger points can be addressed sometimes through massage and some sufferers maintain that acupuncture treats these problems as well. Permanent removal of chronic trigger points and conditions caused by this is possible for most people through use of a TShellz Wrap®.
Reduced circulation in trigger points will eventually lead to muscle shortening and restricted movement which further accentuates the pain, thus completing a cycle of decreased mobility and further pain. This commonly becomes the underlying cause of chronic hip and knee pain and tight hamstrings. The patient will continue to suffer from these until the problem trigger points are treated directly.
Mild Trigger Points can be addressed sometimes through massage and some sufferers maintain that acupuncture treats these problems as well, though it is not accepted by many medical institutions. Permanent removal of chronic trigger points and conditions caused by this, typically requires treatment using Circulatory Boost.
If you have pain in your hip, hamstring, knees (or even achilles) caused by tense, constricted hamstring muscles Circulation Boost is the most effective home treatment for your trigger points. The trick to getting rid of the pain is loosening the knots to release the constricted muscle fibers. This will allow blood to flow through the fibers once again, bringing the vital oxygen and nutrients required for healthy tissue. The most effective and pain free way to loosen the knots at home is with the TShellz Wrap®.
In addition, you want to get your muscle tissue back in the best possible condition you can. To do this, it is important to treat the scar tissue that forms in the muscle when the damaged tissue begins to heal - something the TShellz Wrap® is great at! Even with optimum healing, there is always less elasticity in previously injured muscles fibers. However, if you treat your trigger point pain properly with deep massage and Circulatory Boost, risk of suffering from chronic trigger point pain and hamstring injury related conditions later will be significantly reduced.
There are healing tools that can help treat your hamstring muscle trigger point pain and speed up the healing process so you can get back to a life without further pain. Circulation Boost (Circulatory Boost) will loosen the knots at the trigger points, treat scar tissue, and promote blood flow to loosen your constricted muscles and heal the fibers faster and more completely than any other methods available.
If you have inflammation, use a Cold Compress or Ice Pack to bring down the swelling. Once the inflammation is reduced, nourishing and strengthening the muscle tissue and surrounding area is recommended which can be achieved through use of the TShellz Wrap®. Using Circulatory Boost (via the TShellz Wrap®) will speed soft tissue recovery, increase elasticity of your treated muscles and help heal your hamstring more completely. Talk to your doctor or PT to find out which exercises are appropriate for your situation.
Injured tendons and muscles naturally receives a limited blood supply and when you stop moving your leg and knee because of the pain, the blood flow is reduced even further limiting your body's natural ability to heal itself.
By treating your hip and thigh trigger points with our TShellz Wraps you can increase your body's blood supply to the muscle fibers and increase your body's natural healing power.
A TShellz Wrap® is the tool you need to treat your sore hamstring at home. The TShellz Wrap® is intended to produce localized heightened blood circulation. An enhanced blood circulation will increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to injured tissue - this means enhanced circulation boosts the body's ability to heal tissue, while simultaneouly relaxing surrounding muscles and other soft tissue. Our Leg/Arm TShellz Wrap® provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief and healing with no side effects.

Improved blood flow whisks away dead tissue and toxins that have built up over time in your trigger point location. When you stop moving your hip and leg due to hamstring pain, your muscles and other tissue can become weaker, circulation drops, and dead tissue and toxins in the area build up, leading to further tissue deterioration - this can lead to atrophy. By clearing the area of toxins and increasing the amount of oxygen and nutrients to your muscle and other tissue, the risk of atrophy (muscle weakness and/or deterioration) is greatly reduced. Keeping your leg, hip, and knee soft tissue as healthy as possible throughout the healing process will allow you to improve leg strength and flexibility once your pain has gone and your trigger point pain has healed.
We've helped thousands of people treat their painful injuries and conditions to get them back on the road to a pain-free life!
Many of our customers have already tried the typical treatments, such as injections, pain killers, PT, NSAIDs, and simply staying off their feet to give their hamstring the rest it needs, all without lasting results... until they found us, that is. In addition, our past customers have included physicians, professional athletes, sports trainers and coaches, PTs, and nurses. These professionals rely on products from AidYourHamstring to treat their patients, players, and themselves.
The TShellz Wraps® are FDA Registered Medical Devices, and are suitable for use at home and in health professional clinics. Since they are completely safe for patients to use themselves as instructed, they are now available for use at home.
Once treatment is complete, you also have the option of tightening the straps to provide light compression support for your injured joint. You can also unplug the device from the power supply enabling you to move around the home, office or clinic freely and still use the wrap for support and comfort.
AidYourHamstring advisors do not work on commission, so be assured you will only receive fair and objective information.

During your recovery, you will probably have to modify and/or eliminate any activities that cause pain or discomfort at the location of your soft tissue injury until the pain and inflammation settle. The more diligent you are with your treatment and rehabilitation, the faster you will see successful results!
