Frequently asked questions
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
