The App displays trigger points in on a 3D interactive model. Trigger points wrap around the body and its hard to visualize them in a 2D book. By being able to rotate the body it helps you and your patients to understand where the pain is coming from. The body is divided into seven regions:

• Head and neck

• Shoulder and upper arm

• Elbow, wrist and hand

• Spine and abdomen

• Lumbo-pelvic

• Upper leg

• Lower leg and foot

If you aren’t sure which muscle is causing the referred pain the App helps you to search by allowing you to select and highlighting the region where the patient experiences their symptoms; or by searching for a specific symptom like sore throat, this is done in the portrait mode.

Once you select the region it gives you a 3D interactive visual guide to each of the muscle anatomy, the trigger points and the trigger point pain map. If you know which muscle you re looking for switch to landscape mode and the App allows you to search by region and then the muscle name.

Once you are in landscape mode you can:

• Click on muscle information for a full guide to anatomy and function

• Click on the mail icon and email self-help information and advice to your patient

• Click on the play button for each muscle which brings up the option to play one of 4 Dr Gerwin videos for each muscle where he explains:

  • Trigger point overview,

  • Trigger Point information for the selected muscle,

  • Safety and

  • needling techniques for the muscle

There is also a Dr Bob Gerwin video library with videos on ‘how to’ needle as well as advice and ideas about treating specific conditions such as whiplash or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Whilst anyone can use the app to locate their trigger points, it is designed for healthcare professionals, the needling videos should only be used by healthcare professionals who have studied how to needle and have a valid professional indemnity insurance policy.
