5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to your massage regimen, February 10, 1999

This review is from: What's Really Wrong with You?: A Revolutionary Look at How Muscles Affect Your Health (Paperback)

The first time I read the book, I definitely felt that the massage technique chapter needed to be expanded. Thanks to one of my clients who decided to call the Los Angeles information directory and found Thomas Griner phone number, I now know that the technique is actually very simple yet very effective. I have to say from personal experiences that the technique actually works. I have to give the book a five star rating, because of this. I do not think that it is the only technique that can solve the problems discussed in the book, but I believe it is one of the many ways that you can use to help your clients or people you know, or even yourself to achieve greater health. This is not a relaxation massage technique, it is an actual "therapeutic" fix-me up technique. Your clients will probably not crave it like they crave relaxation massage, but if they have pain, this is a good way to relieve their pain. Thomas Griner's personality comes across as an allopathic medicine hater; he comes across as almost eccentric. But so does Einstein. Get over it, learn the technique, it works !!! A toast for Mr. Griner for taking the time to write the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Information, April 30, 2001

This review is from: What's Really Wrong with You?: A Revolutionary Look at How Muscles Affect Your Health (Paperback)

This book made more sense than anything else 've read about back problems. The chapters on muscle physiology were very detailed, but still understandable for a lay person like me -- and also explained so much about why the usual techniques for helping back pain don't work. There's also a fascinating chapter about health problems you don't usually think of as muscle related. A couple of reviews here sounded a little sour, but I recommend it highly!
