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. <P> 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.--<i>Larry Trivieri Jr.</i> 1521217 1 4 2001 The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief total:2|5:1|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 2 8 5 0 5 0 false false Fri Oct 30 10:35:11 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 10:35:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 18 21:13:38 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 21:13:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jan 20 18:13:10 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 18:13:10 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 12 19:03:15 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 12 19:03:15 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 05 22:50:30 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 05 22:50:30 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1529219
