A myofascial rehabilitation device, including a board defining a handle and bores therein, the bores being of predetermined diameter ranging between ¼'' to 1½'', the bores being of a predetermined orientation, ranging from 30° 90° relative to a surface of the board; projections having ends, a first end of each projection being selectively engageable with the bores, the projections being of predetermined diameters ranging in from ¼'' to 1½'' and ranging in length from one inch to four inches; tips being sized to snugly receive a second end of the projections; and mechanism for retaining the projections when the projections are disengaged from the board and a method of use including the steps of stretching tissue to be treated to the point of discomfort; arranging at least one projection on a myofascial rehabilitation board; relaxing against the board such that the projection applies pressure on a trigger point, such pressure to be applied until there is tolerable discomfort, while avoiding tensing of the tissue; applying more pressure as local and referral discomfort abates to maintain mild referral discomfort; and ceasing when the referral discomfort abates and the trigger point releases.
