TRIGGER POINT WORK:

This is to help relieve trigger points in the gluteous media and the quadratus lumborum, which can affect your gait and much more.  I don't have a theracane, so what I did was take a baseball, place it on the floor and put my pelvic bone area of where the triggers points on it, as much of my bodyweight that I could bear.  This hurt a lot, too.

The trigger points here are in the serratus anterior, like in your armpit area, just below it.  I did this using my baseball and boy, did it hurt a lot, more on my left side than my right side and I'm guessing because I carry my purse on my left side.  

These trigger points are in the upper abdominal area.  This is the first time I've ever done this one and it was a bit painful at first, but I'm used to working on trigger points for my body so I'm able to handle a certain level of pain.
