 Excellent Guide! September 23, 2008
This book changed my life...I've suffered from chronic neck pain (~10 yrs.) and less chronic hip pain (~1 yr) and have found little in the way of permanent relief. I found this book to be very informative and helpful - I've worked on the Trigger Points associated with my pain along with the TheraCane for a little over a month and I've seen great improvement. As for the assertion that the book is difficult to understand, I would argue that it just takes a bit of time and patience to digest. I am not in the medical field and I was able to work through the portions of the book that were most applicable to me with relative ease. The pictures and the descriptions are very explicit. I highly recommend this book.
Thank you thank you thank you September 15, 2008
OMG What an excellent book. I am a student in a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) cirriculum. LMT's need massages too. We get aches and this book is great for our needs as well. May i suggest "Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" by Sharon Butler in addition to this book, they work well together.
This book saves me visits to the pain management doctor! September 11, 2008
After a failed back surgery 5 years ago that left me with more pain than prior to surgery, I've been to 3 pain management doctors, 4 physical therapists, two chiropractors and several massage therapists. I finally found a pain management doctor (Dr. John Tyler)in Colorado Springs who uses the Travell & Simons Trigger Point methods that have provided the most relief for the chronic sciatica, lumbar and leg pain following surgery. Although I have to return for follow up visits from time to time, I'm able to relieve some of the pain myself using the techniques demonstrated in this book. Since I know of no other doctor who uses these techniques, I recommend this book to those who suffer from pain. I hope you, too, will find relief from your pain.

I find The Trigger Point Therapy Wookbook very detailed and comprehensive. You should only buy this wookbook if you are serious about finding a solution and prepared to study and work on it. I have serious sciatic pain and have tried everything to get relief. The book, with quite a bit of study, helped me located the muscles causing the problem. Using the 'ball' technique I massaged the appropriate 'tigger points'. After 3 weeks, persistence is also required, I have begun to get relief and the pain has diminished. The bottom line is this book is a great book provided your motivated. Its not for the faint hearted and its not a 'quick fix'.
Fantastic book. August 31, 2008
This is a great way to practice self care. My massage therapist recommended this book to me! She has just lost a good client because I now know how to treat myself. Really needs to be sold with the theracane but there are illustrations showing how to use a tennis ball. Great book.
