Yes, if you are having trigger points you can work on many of them yourself.
just a tennis ball or a rubber dog ball , golf ball anything that you can use to apply the pressure to the area.

i used a tennis ball on the floor or against a wall - just roll it around til you hit the sore spot and hold pressure til it fades away usually 30+ seconds.
But some times you just need somebody with a thumb or knuckle to get the spots you can't reach.

TrPs are only in the muscles so stay away from bones, joints & veins & arteries.

There is lots of info on the web , even videos on you tube etc that will show how it is done.
