 Insightful Help December 4, 2008
Must Have Simply! I have discovered the answers to my pain, excellent book. I bought one and will now get copies for friends.
Absolutely invaluable December 2, 2008
I have been going to a myofascial trigger point therapist for 2 months now and she has encouraged me to use this workbook at home to learn how to identify and relieve these very painful trigger points myself. I am most impressed with the clarity and accuracy of how well the book is written. I am grateful to have this workbook with language I can understand! It has been invaluable to me.
Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Review November 29, 2008
This book was exceedingly helpful in describing and illustrating exactly where the trigger points were in my body in a simplistic manner which I was then able to alleviate with self massage. Very good value!
A solution that really works for chronic pain November 14, 2008
I cannot express how excited I am to find this book.
I have been struggling with severe knee and hip pain most of this year. I had been seeing a chiropractor for months and getting no relief. In fact, I was getting worse as the pain was beginning to involve both knees and hips as time progressed.
I was fortunate enough to have a Naturopathic Doctor who identified the "knots" in my muscles which gave me a clue to pursue avenues down the muscle path vs. the joint path. I got more information out of one session with this doctor than I got from months with my old chiropractor!
I was then even more fortunate to find a new chiropractor that was recently out of school and had formal training in muscle work. This chiropractor identified my hip/knee issues as myfascial trigger points and has successfully been treating me over the past month. With this treatment, I have been able to perform my workouts again with much less pain. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night with hip pain so severe I could not lay on either side. I am not 100% pain free yet, but we are working towards it.
This book is an incredible resource for me because it has helped me identify some of the causes for chronic trigger points including vitamin/mineral deficiencies as well as metabolic disturbances. I am currently working with my Naturopathic Doctor to identify if any of these are present.
This book has also provided me with the knowledge to help me help myself so I am less dependent on the Chiropractor for care.
I finally feel like I understand what is going on with my body and that I am on the right path towards fixing it.
This deep muscle massage is painful, no doubt about it. But there is relief on the other side of that pain and it is worth it!
The Self Treatment Guide October 25, 2008
This is an excellent book. The author explains in very clear terms, instructions on how to detect trigger points in various parts of our bodies and the various methods of massage.
I zeroed down on the chapter for hands as I was buying this book as a gift for someone who has trigger thumb. You may be a bit put off by the medical terms but don't let those stranger terms deter you. The clear instructions accompanied by figures is sufficient to help you trace the source of the pain. I am beginning to enjoy learning the anatomy of the body and distinguishing between muscle and bone. A worthwhile investment for anyone wanting to learn how to treat their pain.
