Trigger points
 |
Most people with chronic pain have had someone mention to them the concept of "trigger points". A lot of us have had a friend tell us that this or that trigger point will relieve our pain.
On my lookout for helpful books, I came across this one, the latest edition published last summer. It has gotten excellent reviews. Some people have found that it is a little bit difficult for the novice, and that the illustrations could be clearer. At the same time, lots of people have tried it and have found a great deal of relief from pain that has been plaguing them for a long time. It is intended to be a self-help book.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. If you have another resource that has been a help, share that with us too.

I have this book as well as the one specifically for headaches and migraines. I started out using a tennis ball to work on my trigger points and later a theracane. I went from 14 migraines the previous month to a 4! For the first three days of working on my TPs, I had migraines but then they eased off drastically. When I stay on top of my trigger points, I find my other triggers aren’t as likely to cause a migraine. I highly highly recommend trigger point therapy for migraines. I tell everyone. Lol would love to hear from others who have also had some success.
