Test 2017: TMX Trigger for muscle regeneration - release tense muscles with TMX Trigger

According to the manufacturer, the wooden parts are suitable for treating individual pain points in the deeper muscles. "Triggering is the only way to effectively release tense muscles," says TMX founder and physiotherapist Thomas Marx, explaining the product, which is available in two sizes. The smaller one is intended for muscle groups such as the elbow or shoulder, the larger one for the thigh and calf muscles, among others. A small instruction leaflet defines trigger points, as the TMX Trigger should not be used on every part of the body without hesitation. However, the application videos on the homepage are more helpful than the leaflet. Nevertheless, it is initially difficult for non-experts to place the trigger precisely. The pain, especially on the back, takes some getting used to, even for experienced fascia roll users.

Tip: Get help from a physiotherapist or osteopath and only use it on your own as you become more experienced.

PLUS handy, detailed exercise videos
MINUS Difficult to use in areas that are difficult to see; painful

Price 32.95 euros for one trigger, 59.95 euros for the set of two
