A trigger points can not be stretched or exercises out, they need to be mechanically broken, with direct pressure, the very thing this trigger point device does for you.
However because a trigger point will make a muscle tight, weak, and dysfunctional, you must immediately following the use of the device, put the specific muscle you are treating on a stretch and then in time you must work to balance out that muscle strength. In other word, you must and I mean you have to, break up the trigger point, and then work to rebalance that muscles range of motion and strength. And only then will you have resolution to your pain.
