520 a| Doctors who specialize in pain treatment suggest that trigger points, small contraction knots in the muscles of the body, are the primary cause for about 75 percent of chronic pain cases. They further report finding trigger points in virtually every patient they treat. Because trigger points nearly always refer pain to parts of the body other than where they're located, diagnosing and treating them is difficult -- if you don't know what you're looking for. This workbook teaches you exactly what to look for when assessing trigger points. Its clear illustrations show you where on the body trigger points form and the corresponding areas to which they refer pain. Then, in step-by-step detail, it explains how you can treat these sources of chronic pain with unusually effective massage techniques you can do by yourself at any time. This fully revised and expanded edition of the first and best self-care guide to trigger point therapy includes progressive muscle relaxation techniques that reinforce and support your trigger point therapy. It also offers specific information for bodywork professionals who want to include trigger point therapy in their practices. If you've struggled with chronic pain without finding relief, you owe it to yourself to learn and practice the techniques in this workbook -- easy, reliable skills that offer real, lasting relief without drugs, doctor visits, and costly medical bills.;
