If you have pelvic pain, chances are you have trigger points somewhere within or adjacent to your pelvic floor muscles.  Trigger points are a key factor in many pelvic pain syndromes.

A muscle is made up of numerous fibers. A trigger point is a small, taut patch of involuntarily contracted muscle fibers within a muscle. These tightly contracted fibers that form a trigger point affect blood supply to the nearby tissue, which causes pain when compressed.

There are three different types of trigger points:

1. Active Trigger Points – These Trigger Points actively cause pain, like right now!
2. Latent Trigger Points – These trigger Points are dormant but have the potential to cause issues later down the line.
3. Satellite Trigger Points – These Trigger Points are the travelers which refer pain to other regions in the body (kinda like the song the ankle bone is connected to the shin bone etc.)  these trigger points which can be connected to other tendons and ligaments can essentially pull on them causing pain in other regions of the body, even areas where there are no muscles.

If you have lingering pain, tightness, or muscle restriction, chances are you have trigger points. Plus, trigger points are at the root of many ailments you wouldn’t expect such as dizziness, nausea, tooth pain, restless leg syndrome, painful periods, and irritable bowel syndrome. However, oftentimes issues caused by trigger points are misdiagnosed as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or ligament injury.

The Pelvic Floor Pulsator is a great first responder in the fight to relieve your pelvic floor pain and possibly beyond!  The Pulsator is a flexible wand that can reach both surface and deep vaginal musculature.  The wand can be used to massage the tissue fibers to release the trigger points either with or without vibration.  The Pulsator also offers 5 different levels of vibration to further help relieve irritated muscle.

This device requires 2 AA batteries which are not included.
