Abstract
An apparatus for the application of trigger point pressure, including a rigid base generally proportioned to the size of a human back; and an array of trigger point probes symmetric about a central vertical plane of said base, the array including at least two of an upper neck pair of probes, a mid-back and shoulder blade pair of probes, a mid back pair of probes, and a lower back pair. A radius of curvature of a top of each probe is proportioned for optimal physiologic communication with a trigger point of a contracted muscle.
