The Trigger Wheel is a hand-held, self-massage tool that allows you to target small areas very precisely.
Because the Trigger Wheel is designed for work on small areas, it is the perfect complement to any myofascial release tool that works on larger areas such as The Stick, foam rollers or Rumble Rollers. If The Stick is a toothbrush for your muscles, then the Trigger Wheel is surely the dental floss.
The Trigger Wheel is a 5cm diameter nylon and steel wheel fixed to a 13cm handle. The treating surface of the wheel is 6mm wide, making it small enough to allow you to effectively administer a decent amount of pressure with pinpoint accuracy. The nylon and steel wheel is very durable, meaning you really can apply a good amount of pressure without fear of anything snapping. The handle is ergonomic and, conveniently, long enough to reach around so you can get to your own back.
The Trigger Wheel works a lot like a very strong, never-fatiguing thumb that can get right into those nasty trigger points in small areas - places like the occipital ridge, TMJ, upper traps, pecs, plantar fascia and forearms that can be hard to penetrate with other, larger tools. Imagine being able to put the thumbs of your myotherapist, osteo or physio into your bag and take it with you wherever you go. ..
Every useful tool you add to your self-massage arsenal helps you move better, train better and recover more effectively (and may save you dollars on trips to the physio). It's an investment anyone who is serious about their training should make and Iron Edge is dedicated to providing the best self-massage tools on the market.
