Trigger Point Therapy for Low Back Pain: A Self-Treatment Workbook
Learn the secrets to lasting pain relief: finding and deactivating trigger points, the underlying cause of most low back pain. Trigger points are sensitive tight spots in taut bands of muscle tissue. Treating trigger points that refer pain to the low back and buttock areas, rather than addressing only the specific sites of your pain, is the best way to comprehensively treat occasional or chronic discomfort and prevent it from coming back.
Packed with illustrated treatment techniques, Trigger Point Therapy for Low Back Pain offers effective strategies beginners can practice at home and detailed hands-on protocols health care practitioners can use while working with patients. Find out which of eleven muscles could be causing back pain, then learn specific trigger point treatments and correct underlying perpetuating factors to immediately relieve soreness and tension in these muscles. If you're ready to try a targeted approach to eliminating back pain, this manual will provide you with all the information you need to get started and end low back discomfort once and for all.

After years of back pain post trauma i believe that it really is the most remedial i have discovered, for my pain relief.
Already I have had many lessons learned and perceived new self knowledge through study and practice and found it helpful even at my beginners stage. Who else can pinpoint the actual source of tension and pain than the patient themselves? I would like to acquire a practitioners expertise and thorough self help knowledge and perhaps lead others... Who would have thought that instead of putting up with diary drugs and sorry tales of decline perpetuated by my condition
could be turned around by exercises stretching and self massage. The knobber tooI that I have purchased is great too BTW.

Excellent book, full of who/what/when/where/and the whys of it all. Great pics of body parts to target, and excercises to help heal. I highly recommend this as a reference book to keep. I borrowed from the library, but will be purchasing it. That's how strongly I feel about it... (because I don't buy books anymore...)
