You don't have to roll on a ball, poke until it goes away (finger or needle) to desensitize a trigger point. Try palpating for a tender/trigger point lightly, then slacking the muscles and adding a little joint compression. Often there will be rapid relief of tenderness and reduction of tone. Hold it for 30-60 seconds and slow passive return to neutral. Now you can have the patient end range load the new range to keep the reset going.
