Discover How to Control Trigger Point Pain
Without Drugs or Painful Massage
Using Simple Techniques
That You can Apply Yourself

Hello,

My name is Dr. Jonathan Kuttner and I've been treating patients with Myofascial Trigger Points for over 23 years.

I stumbled across this science years ago almost by accident when I noticed that I had these strange muscle pains. They didn't relate to anything I'd heard of before in my traditonal medical training.

I had resigned myself to accepting the pain as just part of life when one day a fellow doctor lent me an old technical manual about myofascial triggers. It was like a light going off in my head.

I devoured the material on trigger points and mapped every trigger point. The pain relief I found when I treated triggers in my muscles was immediate. Then I started seeing patients who had active and sometimes very painful triggers.

Myofascial and Trigger Point pain is a debilitating condition. If you're suffering from Trigger points you could say yes to one of the following statements:

Triggers stop you from doing the things you love

Trigger Point pain restricts your movement

Triggers have stopped you from working at your job

Myofascial Pain stops you sleeping through the night

Trigger point pain causes you anxiety and stress

What I'd like to share with you are the techniques I've developed over the last 23 years for helping people to find and treat their own trigger points.

 

The Many Faces of Trigger Point Pain,
And What You Can Do to Get Rid of It

Trigger Point pain can be puzzling and baffling. There's nothing worse than being diagnosed with a condition when you're not sure what it means for you.

Even worse is when you're in pain, you've gone to numerous doctors and physicians and they still don't know what's causing your pain.

The important thing to know is this: if your pain is caused by myofascial triggers, then there is no actual damage being done to your muscles.

Yes, myofascial triggers can hurt like hell, but there's no irreparable damage being done. Yes, they can make life miserable, but once you've figured out how to treat them, you can get back into your normal day to day life.

Here's just a few of the ways the trigger point pain can show up:


  • Mouth, face and jaw pain that baffles dentists and orthodontists can be caused by trigger points, and treating the trigger points can stop the pain

  • The of the commonest places for trigger points is in your back. Lower and upper back pain can radiate down into your hips, buttocks and legs. Find out how trigger points relate to with chronic back pain and how there can be light at the end of the tunnel

  • Tense muscles with trigger points can cause numbness, shooting pain and tingling in your arms and legs by compressing the nerves running to these limbs

  • Trigger points can cause pain and dysfunction in your hands and arms. They're often overlooked as a solution to this debilitating problem that seemingly has no solution
  • Trigger points can contribute to TMJ or jaw pain. This happens when the complex muscles of the jaw have tight bands of spasm in them
  • Discover more about the natural processes of your body and how conditions like sciatica and prolapsed discs can appear together with trigger points – and how treating trigger points helps relieve the pain

  • Find out which trigger points cause tension headaches and how to treat these can give pain relief
  • Discover the reasons why trigger point pain can be mis-diagnosed as arthritis, and how to tell the difference
  • Know that there is no such thing as pain without cause, and how you can do something about it
  • Find out what to do about SEVERE and chronic muscle spasms

  • Discover the difference between tendons and muscles and how trigger points relate to tendonitis


Gaining more than just a basic understanding of trigger points helps you on your journey to controlling trigger point pain.

How to Handle Trigger Points
That Keep Coming Back

It's hard not to despair when triggers come back. It's a real downer and can take the edge off your life.

The bad news is that some people have bodies that are prone to getting triggers. The good news is that there are actually a lot of things you can do about it.

Find out:

  • How you can methodically locate and deactivate triggers – even when they're really hard to find.

  • Learn gentle stretches specifically designed for each major trigger point muscle. This is key to helping stop triggers coming back.

  • Get techniques to deal with triggers that come back so that you're able to carry on your life and responsibilities with some degree of control

  • Figure out where you hold your tension. Often high achievers create a cycle of stress and tension. Stress creates tensions which creates muscle pain which creates more stress and so on. This cycle can be broken if you isolate where you hold your stress and get techniques for relaxing this area.

  • The mind-body connection - find out how to own your pain instead of it owning you.

  • Stress Breathing – why we do it, what tension problems it causes, and how to breathe properly for relaxation and calm.

  • Bad posture is a major cause of triggers and muscle pain. Find out how to find your own balanced posture

  • Knowing the natural recovery cycles of your body and how this reduces anxiety and helps you enjoy the good times


Exercise - the Key to Breaking the
Cycle of Chronic Sever
e Muscle Pain
(Even When It Seems Like
There's No End in Sight)

 

Jonathan KitesurfingKitesurfing last summer in the North Island, New Zealand

My Story: due to a Hang Gliding Injury, I've personally gone through the hardship of 6 years of chronic back pain.

That's why I find it so important to share techniques to make it easier to get your life back and begin to do the things you love again.

Chronic severe muscle pain can lead to a downward spiral. After my hang gliding crash, I had to really push myself to break the vicious cycle of pain vs fitness.

When you have pain you stop exercising, which leads to weaker muscles, which leads to more trigger point pain, which leads to less exercise.

It is possible to interrupt this pattern though. Even very gentle exercise can begin to restore your sense of wellness. As you figure out how to release tension in your muscles you can start regaining your normal life.

trigger point pain cycle

  • Begin to work your way out of the cycle of no exercise, tiredness and muscle pain by starting a very gentle exercise regime. Find out the minimum exercise needed to start your body producing endorphines needed for pain relief and proper rest
  • Get back to doing the things you love – whether your hobby is gardening, sport or handcrafts.
  • Regain your station in the work force by treating the triggers that made it impossible to work before
  • Rediscover the joy of moving freely when you don't have to worry about your muscles going into spasm

  • Restore your energy by getting back into exercising once you know whether exercise will cause more problems or not
  • Find a sense of deep relaxation as knots caused by emotional tension are released

 

How to Regain Your Energy
When it Hurts to
Sleep or Lie Down

Really severe myofascial pain can stop you sleeping through the night. Like lack of exercise, it's a downward spiral - you hurt so you can't sleep, you feel tired all day so you don't use up energy, so that night you can't sleep again.

Breaking the cycle here means treating the triggers and changing your sleep patterns.

Find out:

  • Why it can hurt just to sit or lie down, and how proper treatment can help get rid of the pain of triggers
  • How even trigger point pain that is so bad it stops you sleeping can be reduced for the cost of a small rubber ball, allowing you to relax and sleep through the night without pills
  • How to breaking the cycle of triggers which lead to exhaustion and bad sleep means going the opposite way from what 'feels' right - but it only feels wrong for a short time.

Find out How to Control
Your Triggers Points

Rather than have them
Rule your life

Deactivating Triggers can be done methodically and with lasting results. It all comes down to recognising pain patterns and mapping out your specific triggers.

You'll find out:


  • How to find ways to ease pain without surgery or drugs with harmful side effects
  • How to get a more complete view of muscular pain and build a better picture of your condition
  • What gentle stretches and exercises relieve trigger points and help your health and wellbeing
  • Discover how this knowledge can help friends and family who may have similar problems. Once you have the knowledge, trigger point release is easy and cheap
  • Clear illustrations and practical instructions that de-mystify trigger point treatment
  • Get wisdom and insight into what the root cause of your pain could be and figure out ways to relieve it


 

Surprising but True: Trigger Point Therapy
DOESN'T need to

Bring Tears of Pain to your Eyes
(And this way is even more effective)

Contrary to what a lot of massage therapists and patients think, Trigger Points treatment can be a wonderful, non-painful experience.

It really doesn't need to hurt like hell. People put up with pain because they know that they'll feel better afterwards. But there's really no need for a brutal pummelling with knuckles and elbows. There's also no bruising or muscle damage when myofascial releases are done correctly.

You'll learn (as I did) methods that are just as effective but don't hurt. It makes sense too - relaxed muscles are easier to release.

Instead of being nauseatingly painful trigger point release can be safe, calming and energising.

Find out how to know when you are overdoing it, and why there really is no such thing as too much gentle stretching.


    Jonathan,

    Your technique is amazing for the main reason that I have tried it on my patients and even my mother and it relieves their agony of pain.

    Thanks and want to hear more from you with other techniques.

Learn How to Treat
Yourself
Even in Those
'Impossible To Reach' Areas

Trigger points often occur in the back of your neck, back, buttock and other hard to reach places. This is a self-treatment course. You'll learn ways to treat yourself effectively - even in places you can't easily reach.

Once you know how to manage your own care, you can treat problems as they come up, independent of physios, chiropractors and massage therapists. So you'll be able to keep your normal schedule going.

There is no reason why you should have to accept trigger point pain as part of life. You don't have to settle for that pain and there is every reason not to.

You'll discover:

  • Where trigger points can hide in your muscles and how you can hunt them down and deactivate them
  • How it's possible to improve even pain that has carried on for many years

  • Gain knowledge of the scientific evidence behind trigger points, and where they fit into the whole pain picture
  • Figure out your pain patterns – the pain pathways of common trigger points have been mapped out methodically, but everyone has their unique way of experiencing pain. Knowing yours will help you manage it effectively.
  • Gain a new confidence when see how quickly relief comes from switching off a trigger. You can test the evidence yourself.

And wouldn't it be good to be able to use this knowledge to treat others as well?

Discover a resource that you can recommend to family, friends. Many massage therapists have also found this course helpful in their practice.

While it's not a miracle cure, trigger point treatment can seem like one because it's so often overlooked when treating 'unexplained' chronic muscle pain.

Over the years I've seen many so called 'dead end' patients who where able to get rid of their pain, sometimes after many years of searching.

This is a practical guide. It's not one of those 'glossy' information packs – all photos and no information. My focus is on easy to use, clear and well organized material. Basically, I want you to get know-how as easily and quickly as possible.

Trigger point self treatment is simple and straight forward. You'll discover how easy it can to find the muscle you're after.

I've kept it really down to earth and basically tried to recreate the feeling I have when I'm sitting in the same room talking to you.

 

For Massage Therapists -
The Rewards of Treating Trigger Points

Treating trigger points has been one of the most rewarding parts of my practise. While it's not always the case results can be immediate and dramatic.

Typically, people I see have been suffering, sometimes for years, from unexplained pain.

The reason for this is that Myofascial therapy isn't well known in traditonal medicine. There's a good reason for this, which I'll address in the course.

Suffice to say that this no standard new-age quackery. Trigger points have been around for many years – called by different names. The late Dr Janet Travell, the personal physician to President JFK mapped them out and there are thousands of case studies supporting her claims.

In a similar vein, all the videos are medically referenced and drawing upon my years of evidenced based medicine as a support.


  • Know how to use trigger point treatment as a powerful tool in your massage therapy practise
  • This can literally be a life saver for some people. I'm very grateful to be able to share this knowledge with others because I've experienced first hand how it can change lives
  • Learn how you can help people who've had chronic pain for years to get pain relief and then empower them to treat themselves
  • Know the boundaries of trigger point therapy, what it can and can't do so that you will have reasonable expectations and not be taken in by so called 'miracle cures'

  • Get accurate interactive illustrations so you get a good idea of how anatomy and muscle structure determines where trigger points are found
  • Discover how unexplained pain can come from trigger points, even when it baffles specialists and doctors
  • Find out how you take care of your body and dissolve trigger points with massage without it bringing tears of pain to your eyes.




It's also important for you to know - this course is 100% online. That way you can get instant access, download the videos and manual onto your computer and get free updates.


    Dear Jonathan,
    As a registered yoga teacher and curious by nature, I am always looking for ways to improve my yoga practice and deepen my ability to teach. The concept of Trigger Point is new to me, but was introduced as a way to explore, and understand my unique or individual patterns of tension through self applied trigger point therapy. I am not sure I have ever experienced such a clear “AHA” moment.

    Eagerly I began to search online but it was your site lifeafterpain.com that stopped my search. I purchased my membership that day and have looked no further for information on Trigger Point Therapy. You are clear, professional, and it is though I am enrolled in school. I look forward to, and appreciate, your constant updating of information. The video presentations are excellent and have been my greatest learning tool as well as the downloadable manuals……I have an organized binder dedicated to “lifeafterpain” for reference and I visit your site regularly for there is always new something to learn.

    It is clear to me that “trigger points” can be the missing link in the evolution of understanding and releasing our muscular tension at any age, in any circumstance, from athletes to those with chronic pain.

    My experience with self applied trigger point therapy has been profound and Jonathan your site has been my teacher.
    Thank you for your brilliant knowledge and what must be exhausting research for you, so that we can learn this vital, ongoing process of the body. As well, I appreciate the approach you take with the mind and visualization.

    I cannot imagine how you can improve your site….I look forward to your continued study, the informative email newsletters, and your willingness to publish the work to teach us!!!!!!
    May we never stop learning!!!!!!!!

    Sincerely,
    Ana Johnson

PS: Here's the thing - I get trigger points. I'm just one of those people who seem to have a textbook case of trigger points. And I can say that these techniques helped me, have helped many of my patients over the years, and I'm confident they can help you too.

Of the probably thousands of patients I've treated, the best are the ones who I bump into in the supermarket and they say "gee, I haven't been in to see you for so long - I'm feeling so much better."

It's a bit like doing myself out of a job, and I love it.

PPS: You can try out this product for 60 days risk free. And if you have any questions about trigger points, just shoot me an email and I'll be happy to answer them.

My hourly rate at my clinic is normally $330 per hour, so more than 6 hours of condensed video that you can pause, rewind and fast forward as you need to is excellent value.

And, if you do the maths, getting all 8 Modules in one go is basically a 50% discount.
