Myofasical release is described as a gentle manipulation of fascia and other soft tissue, but trigger point release is the application of variable (increasing) focused pressure to specific target points that a foam roller cannot really do. The best and most inexpensive self applied TPR I have found is using a variety of balls...tennis balls, softballs, etc...and laying on them against a wall or on the floor.
