Lord of the Trigger Points

A discussion on Facebook reminded me of this mnemonic I made up a couple years ago. With apologies to Tolkien fans!

Two Points in the upper traps, where temple pain is made,
Two in the levator scap causing stiffness of the neck,
Two in the SCM whence frontal headaches trade,
One in the lower traps, starting all the wreck,
In between the low thoracics and the shoulder blade.
One Point to start them all, one Point to goad them;
One Point to aggravate and stir them up and hold them,
In between the low thoracics and the shoulder blade.
