Additional The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition Information

Trigger point therapy is one of the most intriguing and fastest-growing bodywork styles in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain—conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits. The technique involves applying short, repeated massage strokes to trigger points, tiny contraction knots in muscle tissue where restricted circulation and lack of oxygen cause referred pain. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. This dynamic technique has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. The book has sold over 220,000 copies since the release of the first edition in 2001. The second edition is a complete update and includes a new chapter specifically for massage professionals, as well as a chapter on systematic muscle relaxation techniques that can reinforce the therapeutic power of trigger point work.

What Customers Say About The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition:

My back back I guess I used the book for information, but it is easier to identify. Many areas of pain have a different location of the trigger point, so it is important to look up. These areas have referred pain from trigger points, meaning the trigger point is NOT where the pain is located, and the book is necessary to know these locations. this author provided some additional information on Trigger point therapy and additional information on the areas of concern for me.

I discovered the Body Back Buddy and this book when I looked up the theracane. I have found using an ice pack after really helps prevent rebound imflammation and pain. I did use this for some acute pain I had after sitting for so long due to upper back/neck pain and migraines. I ended up adding tabs on my book :) so I could find the locations easier. This book gives you all the information about Trigger Point therapy and the most common areas.

After one month and my Doctor asking me how much I could do, I had to tell the Physical Therapist I needed exercises and needed to determine activity level. I was not ready though, My first exercise I could feel the pain down my neck and back and triggered migraines for another week. My neck and back were so tight they spent most of the time trying to relax the muscles. I ended up with some low back pain, leg pain and foot pain when going back to work. I just go down my back, across my shoulder, under scapula and anywhere else that is tender:) Please read my review on the Body Back Buddy.

Trigger Point therapy has been my answer to managing my own pain. I bought this book when I also bought the Body Back Buddy for information on how to use it. Finally after 2 months of Physical Therapy I was greatly improved but still had pain. When I asked my Physical therapist how I was going to manage the pain, he suggested the theracane.

I also use an ice pack most of the time after doing the trigger point therapy. It is easy to over do, and sometimes cause more pain. For me all three products were a necessity.

It is quite easy to locate your area of pain and the diagrams are excellent showing the area of pain and then each trigger point and the area it works on. This book The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, also Trigger Point Therapy for Headaches & Migraines: and the Body Back Buddy. I mentioned this book and explain my experience with using the Body Back Buddy for trigger point therapy.

I have been going to a Massage Therapist weekly for over 10 years, and last summer had to go to Physical Therapy. I also bought Trigger Point Therapy for Headaches & Migraines: Your Self-Treatment Workbook for Pain Relief (Paperback) Valerie Delaune. All are reasonably priced.

I learned a lot from this book and have been able to understand my trigger point pattern more clearly. Clear and concise persentation. Have also been able to release muscle knots and tension I've had for years, not just in the surface muscles but in the deeper ones as well. Anyone with trigger points will benefit greatly from reading this book and putting the methods into practice. Anyone can grasp what the author is trying to convey. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by having this book as a guide.

I purchased The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook along with the Theracane and found substantial relief. I used the cane with the help of the workbook and have relieved the pain and numbness. I had mild numbness in my arm and had pain in my neck and shoulders. I had been to physical therapy for a number of weeks but didn't get much relief. I still get knots, but am able to work on them and get relief before they get to the point of being unmanagable. Anyone with knots, this along with the Theracane are a "must have".

This book is so over my head because I am not a Massage Therapist, so I don't know the terminology necessary to apply the lessons within. WARNING: If you don't know what the letters after the Author's name stand for, this book is probably not for you either. This book is EXTREMELY detailed. I bought this book figuring I would be able to figure it out. I was incorrect in that assumption. Seems to be a great teaching tool for someone who knows the body. I am going to send it to my cousin who is a Certified Massage Therapist, she would find it useful and maybe I can get a discount on my next massage.

This is truly an amazing book and if you have muscle problems it will change how you deal with them. It got me relief and an understanding of the muscle works and what it takes to relive muscle pain.
