NIMMO?
I can't find that on any of the acronym sites.

Self-treatment
There are a number of ways to self-treat trigger points and these methods are described in numerous texts. Underlying any attempts at self-treatment should be a working knowledge of the area to be treated, especially with regard to the musculature, nerves, glands and vessels.

As my therapist explained it, with TP complexes like mine (and Fixmeup's, as I read it) the TPs have to be addressed/released in a specific order/pattern in order for the therapy to be most efficacious. Doing them in a different order may result in only temporary or incomplete release. This is also explained in the
Trigger Point Therapy Workbook.
Once the therapist evaluates the patient and establishes the pattern, the patient can take over and help themselves in the future because they'll know
exactly what to do & how.
