The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition
Clair Davies, Amber Davies
Rating: 5.0/5 Stars
Rank: 261
The first edition of this workbook is regarded as a classic in its field,
and was the first book to introduce trigger point therapy to the general
public as a self-care tool for alleviating chronic pain caused by a
variety of conditions, including arthritis, back pain, carpal tunnel
syndrome, fibromyalgia, headache, muscle ache, and repetitive strain
injuries.
As the author makes clear, all such conditions are related to
lack of oxygen in exhausted or injured muscle tissue.
Trigger point
therapy has been used for decades by doctors, pain specialists, and
massage therapists to quickly stimulate the flow of oxygen and promote
rapid pain reduction.
This book makes the same techniques available to the
general public with instructions that are easy to follow, and abetted by an
extensive collection of charts and corresponding illustrations. The
author’s interest in trigger point therapy began when he used it to
successfully treat his frozen shoulder.
Since that time, he has dedicated
himself to teaching others the same techniques. That dedication is obvious
throughout his writing and the care he takes to make the therapy
understandable to the lay public.
Also included in this new edition is
updated information that should be of great interest to pain specialists
and bodyworkers, as well as useful instruction in a variety of relaxation
techniques.
Overall, this book is an excellent self-care resource for
anyone interested in pain relief.--Larry Trivieri Jr.
