Val, Does the book tell you how to perform trigger point massage
therapy on yourself? I've had Physical Therapists do it and was
very impressed with the results but didn't know there was a way to
perform it on myself. I'm interested!

Tahnks.

massage therapy by Clair Davies. It is a detailed explanation of how
to massage the knots out of your muscles to erradicate bone pain.  I
have had very little pain since starting this therapy it is fantastic
especially as the dr told me to learn to live with the pain and to
just take strong pain killers for the rest of my life

is pressing on my spinal cord. One recommended fusion surgery and
the other recommended physical therapy, which I decided to try rather
than surgery. I had physical therapy last January and have continued
the exercises at home. I would say that "my condition" has remained
stable and my neck is much stronger. I have learned that some things,
such as heavy lifting, will affect the nerves in my hands and legs. I
think I made the right decision, for now, not to have surgery.
