Mum has that massage background (as you might recall). It's very helpful. She's done some work, trying to release trigger points manually or with her elbow, and also helping me with passive stretching. The stretching seems more effective. At least...it's more comfortable!! Eyeeesh.

With manual trigger point release, do you know how long one should hold steady pointed pressure on the muscle point before letting go? I can use a therapy ball (or whatever's lying around, honestly) to press into my back/shoulder and I'm never sure how long to keep it in one spot. Or if I should move it back and forth slowly. What works for you?

Thanks for the well wishes, dear! *hugs back* <3
