5.0 out of 5 stars Truly A Work That Needs Wide-Spread Acknowledgement, September 18, 1998

By A Customer

I have been the recipient of the techniques and procedures which are included in this magnificent undertaking. My physician had references in his office taking up all four walls, and then some. However, only this particular text had been seen fit to be placed by his desk, with thumb worn pages and a tattered spine. I took an active role in my own treatment, and purchased Volume I. Thankfully, the physician took my indulgence with professional courtesy, and we both worked to achieve our desired result. A chronic situation was eleviated in three (3) sessions, and has not returned in over ten (10) years. The practicality of this work cannot be overstated. The fact that a lay person can appreciate a text that is so specific in its presentation is quite an endorsement for the approach taken by its authors. The concept of locating a trigger-point, however obscure, can and does result in formidable treatment of the respective ailment. The processes outlined in these volumes are most effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book that should be read by healthcare professionals, October 16, 1997

By A Customer

EVERYONE IN THE HEALTHCARE OR HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL PROFESSION SHOULD REALLY TAKE THESE BOOKS CALLED,'MYOFASCIAL PAIN AND DYSFUNCTION' INTO STRONG COSIDERATION. THEY ARE WHAT I WOULD CALL A NEUROMUSCULAR MASSAGE THERAPISTS BIBLE. THEY EXPLAIN PAIN PATTERNS AND TRIGGER POINTS,WHETHER THEY ARE MUSCULAR OR NEUROLOGICAL. FOR EXAMPLE,MOST CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS OR MASSAGE CLIENTS SUFFER FROM LOW BACK PAIN. THIS BOOK EXPLAINS HOW ABDOMINAL MUSCLES CAN CAUSE REFERRED PAIN INTO THE LOW BACK AND BY ABDOMINAL RELEASE TECHNIQUES,THE PATIENT CAN RECIEVE ALMOST INSTANT RELIEF AND BETTER MOBILITY AND RANGE OF MOTION.ALSO,SO MANY PEOPLE SUFFER EVERYDAY WITH NECK PAIN,MAYBE BECAUSE OF AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT EXAMPLE;[WHIPLASH].THIS BOOK EXPLAINS HOW BY TREATING THE ANTERIOR CERVICAL MUSCLES OR NECK MUSCLES,NECK PAIN CAN BE REDUCED OR ALMOST ELIMINATED. I JUST WANT PEOPLE AND MEDICAL HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS TO KNOW THAT THERE IS TREATMENT FOR MUSCULAR SKELETAL PAIN BESIDES ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS OR MUSCLE RELAXERS WHICH ARE MOST OFTEN PERSCRIBED,AND PAIN SUFFERERS STILL HAVE PAIN. IF YOU'VE EVER HAD PAIN THEN YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS FRUSTRATING. MAYBE IF YOU'VE TRIED TO TREAT YOUR PATIENTS OR CLIENTS AND YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RESULTS, GIVE THIS BOOK A CHANCE. ESPECIALLY NEUROMUSCULAR MASSAGE THERAPISTS THAT PRACTICE SOFT TISSUE MANIPUALTIONS OR CHIROPRACTORS WHO MAYBE EMPLOY MASSAGE THERAPISTS. I PROMISE THESE MANUALS WILL BE A HUGE SUCCESS IN YOUR BUSINESS PRACTICE OR EVEN AN INSTITUTION OF EDUCATION. SO MANY PRACTITIONERS OF THIS NATURE ARE CHASING PAIN, DON'T BE A PAIN CHASER, BE A SUCCESSFUL PRACTITIONER. GIVE THESE BOOKS A TRY, THEY COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE, THEY'VE CHANGED MINE!
