Great tool for microcurrent use and for locating points
By C. Fernandez
I'm still figuring out how this works. I have chronic fatigue syndrome with myofascial pain/fibromyalgia, and I have a micro-current unit (like a TENS unit) that i use to "melt" my trigger points. But the electrodes can itch, and sometimes i want to move them around, especially since i have pain all over my body. So i got this pen to use instead.I've kept it at the lowest, micro-amp frequency settings, mostly because I don't know if it will cause problems at higher settings. I've used it to find points, then do acupressure on them.The hand-held metal piece that comes with it is to be used when someone else is treating you. My husband did not have luck with this, so I can't say how well that part works. But for use of the pen alone on myself, where I already KNOW the pain is, or may be originating, it is useful. It also comes with a smaller tip that can be used for points on the ear.I've used it mostly on my fingers/hands, toes/feet to balance meridians and I seem to be progressing with my overall healing.UPDATE: Feb. 2011.I still keep mine mostly on the lower frequencies, lowest intensity, lowest sensitivity, since I have so many trigger points (it detects points EVERYWHERE.) But they are getting better. I have yet to figure out what the plus/minus is for. I'm not a student of Chinese medicine, but I apply the pen where it hurts, or around the sore area, or just on the ends of the muscles. At first I was afraid and just used it on my fingertips/toes. But now I use it on my limbs, my back, my belly, my face, etc.I have a chart for meridians, etc. and sometimes I follow along them, but it's not necessary. The beauty of this instrument is that it TELLS you where the points are...acupoints, trigger points, etc. Any over-stimulation (acupressure/puncture/massage) is going to make a person feel ill. I have found an increase in my chronic fatigue symptoms if i do extensive energy work throughout my body, but after my system 'flushes out' the toxins that have been released (it takes a few days,) I feel a lot better.

This Tool is a Massage Therapists best friend.
By S. Macklin
As a massage therapist, I have used the Pointer Plus (the older version of the Pointer Excell II for several years now. It is extremely helpful in breaking up trigger points and assisting with myofascial release techniques. My patients are very impressed with how well the Pointer Plus works in relieving their pain quickly, without a lot of deep tissue work.A trigger point is an area of the muscle fibers that stay in a constant state of contraction. These areas are mostly referred to as "knots". This tool works great for breaking up those painful, stiff "knots" all over the body.I have a few tips for those of you who may not know how to use it correctly and want to recieve the best results. When working the area, "scrape" the end of the pen back and forth (left to right)over the area in about a 1" pattern while activating the micro current. Do this for about 30 seconds. Then "scrape" the area up and down within the same area while activating the micro current for about 30 seconds. A few passes in each direction using this technique will be quite effective in releasing the trigger point. Then "strip" the muscle (rub deeply with your thumb or fingertips in the direction of the muscle fibers)to further break up the "knot". Drink plenty of water afterwards to flush the toxins that have been released from the muscles out of the body.I see by the picture of the Pointer Excell II, that it hasn't changed much from the original "Pointer Plus" design. That is my only criticism. It is a highly effective tool, and it's worth the price if it's used correctly, but it is awkward to hold onto and use comfortably.

By JAL
Pointed Excel II is best used by an acupuncturist. Acupuncture is the best but this is great for quick energy work on a specific acupuncture point. We've had ours for one week and love it. My husband is using it on my shoulders where it is hard to use a needle and there is already improvement within a week. Acupuncture takes time for the body to heal and so it is with the pointer excel II.
