Pre-Owned The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook : Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief

this book tells you what some pros don't want you to know because then you may not need them. Great and helpful book for DIY or for therapist wanting to expand areas of knowledge. the info here has helped reduce much of my pain and I still have areas to check out. I dove in a bit too gung-ho and caused some bruising and soreness I didn't need. So now I'm going a bit slower and less vigorously. I got the Prospera Complete Body Massager Set which is cheaper than the similar items bought separately as various knobs and balls. It is a better buy of tools for executing the techniques in this book. They not only save your fingers, knuckles or whatever but get the job done with less pain than using fingers which was when I was going too hard.

I consider this book to be a useful self-help tool for treating trigger points, or irritable spots in the muscle. It has many, many pictures which help guide the reader to common places in the muscles where these things are at. From there, you can use a ball, massage them with your fingers, or even use this tool called a Thera-Cane to get to those hard to reach places. All in all a handy book for treating trigger points, another good lesson here is that sometimes muscle trigger points can mimick more serious ailments, when the problem is really just in the muscle. Also recommend "The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution" if you suffer from plantar fasciitis pain.
