rocker. Nirvana for your back
Relieve your back, neck and shoulder pain while building muscle in just 5-10 minutes.
The Trigger Point Rocker is a patent-pending back pain product that combines
my hands-on clinical experience with thousands of screaming backs, plus the
science behind myofascial trigger points on our bodies. After years of
research, many prototypes and real feedback from beta testers, the "ahh
moment" is coming to your home.

Did you know? Understanding
trigger points
A trigger point is a small patch of tightly contracted skeletal muscle.
When formed in our muscles, trigger points can potentially cause pain, stiffness, physical limitation, loss of normal function and
tension headaches.

What are the leading causes of trigger points?
Repetitive overuse (typing, housekeeping)
Periods of heavy lifting
Poor posture
Muscle clenching (from stress)
Injuries (car accidents, sports injuries)
Inactivity (prolonged bed rest/sitting)
The Trigger Point Rocker is super easy to use. You control the amount of
pressure placed on your trigger points by adjusting your body’s position
and how much body weight you choose to apply.
Slowly lower body onto the Trigger Point Rocker
Place deep pressure on certain knobs to target specific areas
Rock side to side for extra release of muscle tightness
Sit smart
Keep your posture in check with the Trigger Point Rocker.
If you sit for long periods of time, posture support is key. By using the
TPR as a backrest, your back as extra support that can help reduce the
tension that builds up with prolonged sitting.
Trigger Points and You
Trigger points form when a muscle is contracted for too long. This
causes the muscle to choke off its own blood supplyb> (oxygen and
nutrients).
By laying on the Trigger Point Rocker, you can leverage your body weight to apply deep pressure on the most common
trigger points.
Through deep sustained pressure, the muscle is able to reset and return to its relaxed state.
When your muscles are relaxed, you’re bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.

The pressure points
The Trigger Point Rocker has 3 groups of pressure points (knobs), that focus on the neck, shoulders/upper back, and lower back.
Suboccipital pressure points
targets neck pain
The TPR's (Trigger Point Rocker's) top two knobs work to target pressure
points in the neck (suboccipital muscles) often correlated with the many
hours spent looking at our phones/devices, sitting poorly at work or at
home, and driving.
Thoracic spine pressure points
targets shoulder & upper back pain
The second group of four knobs on the Trigger Point Rocker aim to target
pressure points in the shoulders and upper back (thoracic spine). The
tightness we experience in the shoulders and upper back is often
correlated with hunching, computer/desk work, improper form while working
out, carrying a child or a heavy purse.
Lumbar spine pressure points
targets lower back pain
The last group of six knobs on the TPR aim to target pressure points in
the lower back (lumbar spine), which are commonly associated with: poor
posture when we're on our feet or sitting, frequent bending forward, and
heavy lifting.
Neutral spine position
Often overlooked, the way we move throughout the day and the positions we
put our body in, cause our spine to collapse.
The unique shape of the TPR promotes a neutral spine position — the natural position of the spine in which all 3 curves are in proper
alignment.

We care Our Guarantee
Designed by Dr. Aaron FU, DPT
Hi, I'm Dr. Aaron Fu. As a doctor of physical therapy, specializing in
myofascial release, I see cases of neck, shoulder and back pain on a daily
bases. To share my expertise and to positively impact as many people as
possible, I created the Trigger Point Rocker.
With more people staying indoors and maintaining social distancing, it's
more important than ever for us to launch the TPR to help individuals feel
their best in the comfort and safety of their own homes.
I wanted to create a product that made sense financially, but most of all,
makes your body feel like we turned back time!

Always consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
The information provided is not intended to prevent, diagnose or treat any

The TPR was designed with the understanding that each individual has variations in their body size and type. By changing the positioning of the body while using the TPR, it allows the user to target specific areas to get the maximum benefits. Although you don't have to be a specific height to use the TPR, it is most effective for users between the height range of 5'0" and 6'6". The TPR is also designed to be durable with a max weight capacity of 300 lbs.
How do I properly position the TPR when using it?
We recommend sitting at the base of the product and laying down slowly by walking your hands back. The two top knobs of the TPR are supposed to fit in the suboccipital region of the skull.
How do I get off of the TPR?
We recommend rolling off of the side via a "log roll technique." The log roll technique maintains the alignment of the spine while turning. Imaging a rolling log. In this case, you are the log.
How long should I use the TPR for each time?
We recommend using the Trigger Point Rocker up to 15 minutes at a time. We have found the best time to benefit ratio is 10 minutes.
Heavy vs. Standard firmness... How do I choose?
TPR users have reported relief from both the standard firmness and heavy firmness. However, we recommend ordering based upon your personal preferences and based upon how aggravated your muscle tissue is. The rule of thumb that we use is, if the tissue is very aggravated (>6/10 on the pain scale) we would recommend going with the standard firmness as the heavy firmness will be too intense.
Does it hurt to use the TPR?
It can be painful when trying to address trigger points and those stubborn knots that we all struggle with. But after the first few minutes of using the TPR, the pain turns into a feeling of "release" as reported by our testers.
