More Effective Way To Relieve Painful and Tender Muscles

The traditional trigger point release technique with applying pressure with a Lacrosse ball or a mobility ball is useful and beneficial.

But in this video I demonstrate a variation that I feel adds a compenent that is even more effective.

The “pin and stretch” technique does a really great job at pinning the muscle and elongating it with movement. You “tack” the tissue down and then increase the stretch through movement.

This has been a go-to of mine with various tender or restricted muscle groups. Its quick and useful! Give it a try!

*** I have just released my new warm-up that was created specifically for grapplers!

The warm-up includes dynamic movements, stretches, range of motion exercises, muscle activation exercises, and a bunch more content that I have used myself and with my training partners to allow for an effective and useful warm-up to keep you healthy and training.
