Easy to follow videos of how to use the Point of Relief

Glute Releases for Lower Back Pain, Sciatica, Piriformis Syndrome 

Glutes standing active release is a good introductory technique. It is not too intense as you and moderate your pressure. 
Laying on the floor using the Point will give a strong and deeper release. Letting the leg fall out to the side allows the Point to get in really deep. Try to relax onto the Point to let it do it's work.
Laying with a straight legs and rotating your foot in and out will give a different release to the above bent leg one. Finding what works best for you is important
Glute release using the figure 4 position is the most intense release for the the glutes. You will know all about it when using the technique so be careful to ease into the Point.

QLs or Quadratus Lumborum realease. For lower back pain and general stiffness

This video shows where you should place the Point. Please note that it is not in the spine, but on the muscles down the sides of your spine.
Standing with bent legs will give you the ability to push back into the wall to give more pressure.

 Trapezius release, for head aches, shoulder and neck pain

The standing Traps release is a good introduction release, not too intense. The harder you push, the stronger the pressure and release
If you need a stronger release laying on your back will really work. Be sure to move the Point around until you find your tight spots.

Neck Release, front and back. For head aches, shoulder pain, wry neck & general stiffness

Using the opposite hand to the side of your neck press into the muscles around your neck. Make sure to move the Point around to find your sore spots and work on them
Find a sore spot in your neck and hold the Point on that spot. Then move your head side to side and up and down to get a long leasting active release
Start using the Point with the FLAT side up, it's a good introduction and not too intense. Be sure to move up and down your neck to find your sore spots.
For a more intense release turn the Point up and really target your tight spots while moving your head. 

Middle Back, Rhomboids and Thoracic Spine 

Use the same distance from your spine as the QLs release. Make sure you move around to find the sore spots and hold on them.
Raising your arm up and down will give a stronger release.
You may get some referred or shooting sensations, that means you're on a good spot :-)

Plantar Fascia release

You can moderate your pressure as you are standing up. Be sure to work through the whole foot, not just where it is sorest.

Hamstring release

Be sure to release all the way up and down the hamstring. The harder you press down with your hand the deeper the release.
Using the FLAT side of the Point follow the video.
You can try it with the Point but it will be quite intense

Teres Major & Minor

Be sure to be active and roll over to find the sore spots. Keeping your hand high to take some weight so you can moderate the pressure

Quadriceps Release

Using the flat side of the Point is a good introduction to quad release. make sure you release the whole line of the muscle, not just one spot
For a stronger, deeper and more exact release, try using the Point. It will be more intense!

VMO or Vastus Medialis Oblique. Great release for jumpers knee or patella tendon issues

VMO is the bulky muscle just above your knee towards the mid line of your body, the bulk quad muscle

Top of ITB or Iliotibial Band

Definitely start with the standing release because you can easily control your pressure. Working about 5cm below your hip bone.  
For a far more intense release start with the Point next to you and roll onto it. Be careful and take your time, it has a fair kick to it

Lower parts of ITB or Iliotibial Band

It's very important to take you time and work through the entire length of the ITB. Just releasing one area won't assist you as much as the whole band. Very important for lower back pain, jumpers knee and patella tracking issues.

Pectoral Muscle

Try the bent arm release first, it's a little less intense than the straight arm one. make sure you work various point in you pectoral muscles, there are lots of trigger points in there!
For a stronger release keep your arm straight and use a windscreen wiper action. Again, make sure you move the Point around to release all the trigger points.

Jaw Release

It may sound odd to release your jaw, but it can assist with head aches and back aches so give it a try

Forearm Release

A surprising amount of tension is held in your forearms. Give this release a go and use as much pressure as you like. Try flexing your fingers into a fist and releasing when you find a sore spot
