It Works!! It Really Works!!

I have had this book now for a couple of years. After many years of neck, back and shoulder pain, and many diagnostic tests, I gave up on doctors and found this book. The massage procedures in this book have helped me with not only neck, back and shoulder pain from a car accident I was in over 13 years ago, but have also helped me with what I thought was a severely sprained ankle. The book is well organized so that you can go to the page in the book for the part of your body where the pain is occurring. There you can find all the names of the muscles that are the likely suspects in which trigger points would be to cause the pain and the corresponding page numbers for instructions on the massage techniques for these muscles.

The pain comes back in my neck because of the damage that was done to my neck, but it is not as severe and relief is just a massage away. I only have to take over the counter anti-inflammatories once in a while. It has been a miracle for me. I was so happy with the results I had, I bought three copies of the book and gave one to each of my three sisters who have all been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It works! It really works!!

It worked, and apparently it is not quackery

The author ties his narrative to medical research, along with the enthusiasm of convert. There is a good chance this is actually a revolutionary technique. I am no expert, but my apprentice blundering is easing the pain in my ears that is apparently a consequence of TMJ problems. My teeth are starting to meet right. My Dr. sent me to get a MRI and found nothing in my head and offered some anti inflamatory, meds which did help a little. The book helped more tho. I would reccommend it as a well made tool.

Fantastic book.

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.

Comprehensive

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'.

Excellent book - very helpful!

This book was recommended to me because I have been dealing with chronic pain across my forehead, in my upper back, my lower back, and my calves. At first glance the book seemed overwhelming but once I started reading I thought it was very well laid out. The book is organized by areas of pain, the trigger points are well described, and instructions on how to find them and work on them are great.

The book also lists possible underlying causes for the pain. As it turns out my pain seems to be caused by a misaligned spine which seems to be caused by misaligned feet, limb length difference, and hammer toes. I am waiting on my custom orthotics which will hopefully alleviate this problem.
