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 Trigger Point Therapy Workbook 2nd Edition Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief Review
Using the list, I fount a hidden and hard-to-find trigger point in my subscapularis muscle that contributes to my shoulder ache from using computer. I massaged it with my thumb and the pain level decrease down to a much more bearable level.
I also found a broad and wide range of trigger points all over my stiff and sore mid-back muscles from incorrect sleeping and sitting postures. I leaned my back against the tennis ball and rolled it along the wall, but found it somewhat ineffective. So I tried using a baseball. Amazingly, after 5-10 minutes of grueling rolling, I can turn my back and feeling much less tenderness and stiffness. I felt looser and slept well that night.
I loved how it lists the trigger points involved for all types of body pains. I appreciate how it organizes the lists. It points out the most frequent and common cause of trigger points down to least common and obvious trigger point.
Frequently, it takes more than one deactivation of trigger points through self-massages, especially chronic pain suffers. The simple illustrations makes easy to follow along.
