Importantly, “[A prostate toy] must have a flared base so it doesn’t slip inside,” says Dr. Queen. And be sure to use lube, as the anus doesn’t self-lubricate. The best prostate massagers
One trigger point therapy treatment completely relieved a nasty stubborn hip pain that I'd had for five months! Ultimately, all we know is that there is often a sensitive spot right here. Maybe it’s the muscle, maybe it’s cranky cluneals, maybe it’s both, maybe it’s none of the above. Gluteus maximus is a massive muscle. Along with the quadriceps, it’s known as an “anti-gravity” muscle for its powerful lifting action. Your gluteus maximus is heavily recruited for stair climbing and jumping. Trigger points seem to be able to "hide" better in big muscles: less obvious until they are much worse. They tolerate more knotting up before you start to notice a problem. A vague feeling of fatigue, stiffness, and heaviness in the area can get well-established long before it actually starts to hurt. This may explain why so few people seem to know about this spot until it is massaged.A life lived mostly on the flat and stable surfaces of a city offers little challenge to them, so they are weak and easily exhausted by weekend skiing trips, a walk on the soft sand of a beach, or really anything that requires more balancing than usual. The combination of chronic mild weakness with erratic stressful challenges may be the reason they tend to get polluted with trigger points. And this is all just an educated guess. It’s unknown why individual trigger points come and go. I discuss the trouble with running on flat surfaces in Is Running on Pavement Risky?. bursitis, a condition where fluid-filled sacs for cushioning your joints become inflamed and painful
