Product Description

HANDHELD MASSAGE AND ACUPRESSURE TOOL FROM SWEDEN- developed by a professional acupuncturist

In the modern society of today, work-related tasks and personal errands are usually carried out in front of a computer. As a consequence, most people suffer from neck, upper and lower back problems that negatively impact their life on a daily basis and drastically reduce quality of life.

The Happy Trigger has been developed to instantly relieve tension anywhere on your body –even hard to reach areas – without others’ help. Happy Trigger is a state-of-the-art hand-held massage and acupressure tool that is extremely easy to use. You can take this modern, stylish invention with you wherever you go. Try the Happy Trigger and enjoy pain relief like so many before you!

Many people use the happy trigger at their desk, in front of the TV, on the subway or bus, and following a work-out session. You deserve the freedom that a happy back brings you. By using the Happy Trigger, you can easily give yourself a relaxing massage wherever you are.

WHAT IS A TRIGGER POINT?

A trigger point is a tender, unrelaxed muscle. Trigger points usually occur in muscles that are overworked. When overworked muscle fibers are constantly activated, trigger points, also known as muscle knots, develop.

To effectively relax trigger points, a well-designed pressure head can promote blood circulation and pain relief

BACKGROUND

The Happy Trigger was developed by the professional acupuncturist Tobias Schon. He is one of thirteen acupuncturists in Europe, who is on Dr. Richard Tan's reference list of qualified acupuncturists. Dr Tan is currently one of the world's top acupuncturists and lecturers worldwide.

Tobias has been working as an acupuncturist since 2009. During his career, he has noticed that many of his clients suffer from neck, upper back and lower back problems. In 2011, in an effort to help his patients, he carefully developed the Happy Trigger to enable self-directed therapy. As a result, many of his patients have been able to expedite the recovery process and greatly reduce or eliminate their pain.

EXAMPLE OF AREAS OF TREATMENT

UPPER BACK

Relax your upper back and shoulder blades and place the happy trigger on a tender spot with both hands gripping the handle

By pulling the tool forward gradually you can decide how much pressure you apply to the muscle knot. Be gentle the first few times to avoid discomfort

For best results, use 10-second intervals
Apply focused pressure or, alternatively, move the acupressure head vertically and gently on the sore point, relax for 10 seconds, then repeat 2-3 times

To better reach the tight and tensed muscles, you can try an outward movement with your arm to further open up the shoulder blade

SHOULDER

Use one hand to grip the handle while placing the other on top of the steel

As you relax your shoulders, keep the acupressure head fixated on one point

Apply a gentle pressure or use soft pumping movements to ease tender muscles
If comfortable, turn your head to the opposite direction of pressure application for an even better result

NECK

Observe how to use the hands – one hand is gripping the handle and the other one is used merely as support

Put the acupressure head slightly below the skull, just over an inch sideways from the center of the neck

DO NOT apply pressure directly to the spinal column

Use small, light, circular movements to release tension

It works, much larger/longer item than it seems.

You can easily reach anywhere, any size body, that painful between the shoulder blades area is so nice to be able to fix on your own instead of looking like a bear seeking perfect place to shove against to apply pressure. I was impressed with it, came to look for a smaller one, shorter to use easier on a neck muscle if they make one. That wooden tip just slides down muscles with perfection due to the perfect firmness of the wood and shape, but not so slippery it won’t hold a muscle, you’ll see, great wellness gift. Well designed.

Amazing tool! Finally one that works!

FINALLY A TOOL THAT WORKS! This works wonders if you have specific spots in your back that get knots. I am thin and have a small body frame (118lbs 5'5" female) and have tried various other trigger point release tools and massage tools that just haven't worked. Most of them have a rounded ball on the end that you push into your trigger points or sore spots. But for someone thin and small the ball is too large of a surface area to actually get the exact sore spot. But THIS trigger happy tool is perfect! The end features a triangular wooden piece that comes to a rounded point instead of a ball. It can accurately get the exact point of tension or knots in my back with very little pressure. You can move it to actually get behind your own shoulder blades. I've had spine surgery and suffer from muscle spasms and chronic tightness of the neck and back and this is the ONLY handheld tool I've ever had that actually gets to the spots you need it to go. I've tried at least 3 other types of tools like this and this is by far the best of all of them. Don't be fooled by the simple wood and metal design, it is sturdy and truly works.

painful and hard

I only bought this item because my coworker recently went on a trip to Taiwan and brought back a similar handheld tool key difference is his was firm plastic instead of wood. A fantastic tool, i desperately wanted to keep it. I scoured amazon with no avail as this was the ONLY tool that was similar in any way to what he had. Package arrived in a timely fashion (about 1.5 week) well packaged, but those are the ONLY positives. the pointed head on this tool is made out of HARD WOOD. There is no way, shape, or form that this tool can be used comfortably AT ANY PRESSURE it is painful. The tip is an actually a sharpened point as well, which makes it even worse. NO part of this tool contains any softness or give, so when you press it onto your back, it feels like your leaning on a spike. I rarely leave negative reviews, but upon attempting to return, item is not even eligible for return. I have been an avid shopper on prime for almost 2 years and have never bought a product I couldn't return, MAJOR RED FLAG. Avoid at all cost, its a waste of $ dont bother getting this unless you enjoy pain.

Excellent tool, comfortable to feel and to handle, versatile. Thank you :o)
However, your cute brochure points out the anatomical trigger points anteriorly and posteriorly, but even my magnifier became useless. PLEASE use a larger font!!!!
I'm a therapist myself and know them triggers, and thank you for this tool :o)
Tell your customers to never go into pain but be firm and kind to the muscle at the same time.

OK for some trigger points

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I am not able to get enough pressure on the trigger points with this. I thought it would be easy to use, but I am finding it a little awkward. Maybe it's user error, but pulling on this does not create enough tension to release any of my tight muscles. I am a little disappointed but I will keep trying. In small sensitive areas like my jaw I am able to feel more of a release. Unfortunately, the main muscles I bought this for were my traps and my shoulders and I just don't get the relief I need there from this item.

awesome trigger point tool for the upper body, highly recommended

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

this is a great tool. i bought it specifically to keep at work. i have a desk job and often suffer from trigger point flare-ups. the Happy Trigger is near perfect for my needs. it's not a big bulky thing so i feel comfortable using it throughout the day while i'm working if i feel like my muscles need it. it also fits (a bit awkwardly) inside my largest desk drawer so that's definitely a plus for me. the wood parts are very smooth and the steel is very sturdy. i've had it a couple of months now, and have used it on my trigger points all over both sides of my upper back, my pectoralis major, my deltoid, and my low back/rear hip area. i haven't been able to figure out how to release my psoas, groin, or piriformis with it, but working on those areas would be pretty weird at the office anyway, so i tend to those utilizing other modalities at home. overall, i love this thing. i was a bit uncomfortable spending money on something like this because at home i already have a foam roller, various sized massage balls, and i can always lean against the corner of a door jamb for free.. but this tool is so worth it. i really can only use the balls at home and i'm unable to just up and leave my work desk anytime i feel like it to go lean against a doorway. besides, you can't really pinpoint your trigger points with a doorway. this tool really gets the EXACT spot and doesn't mush the surrounding tissue and you can totally control the pressure. you can stroke your knots or concentrate directly on them, you can hold the tool steady or vibrate it, etc. i often find myself wishing i had remembered to bring it home with me when it's the weekend! i very much recommend it for your trigger points - especially in the upper body region!

Good, solid product.

Got this after sending back Body Back equipment which snapped in half after 1st week. Have been using Happy Trigger for about a week now, and it works very well. Don't think its going to snap (metal hook and well made wood parts all feel solid). Comfortable handle. I was using a japanese made plastic hook which woked great, but snapped in 2 pieces after about 10 months. It works as a kind of a self-acupressure, getting to painful trigger points in different parts of yor back and neck. It really allows me to function and to control back pain. Kinde of a life-saver. Hope it serves for a long time. My only wish would be to have the steel part a bit more flexible (more spring) which would make it perfect. But even as it is, works fine for me.

I got this for travel since it will fit in my bag & my big cane version won't. Wish the "point" wasn't quite so pointy.
