I also like the video effects, and would also like to see a longer video.
In my experience, limiting blood flow to the area by holding longer than the 8 seconds (but not too long, obviously) starves the muscles that are firing so they are no longer fed energy, in the form of blood, to continuing firing.. it denies the ability to fire long enough to actually release. I understand there are different schools of thought on the 8 seconds

The video is great. I like how it shows the red trigger points. Would enjoy a longer video on the subject.

An amendment to Travells TrP pressure release technique states that 5-7sec pressure and 2sec release allows blood flow and and hence the flushing of muscle metabolites. Prolonged (>8sec) ischemic pressure is contraindicated as it cuts of blood flow to the focus area.
Thanks for your videos as they are very informative and few people know of these powerful techniques.
