Product Description

A comprehensive, natural approach to self-guided muscle healing

For anyone who has ever had back pain, neck pain, or wrist pain, Healing Muscle Pain is the ultimate reference on why muscles hurt and how they can heal. Brimming with practical tips and techniques, profusely illustrated, Healing Muscle Pain provides a combination of reference material and numerous remedies that can help heal all areas of the body. Medical writer Elisabeth Aaslid explains: why injuries to muscles occur, how to heal the injuries, and, most importantly, how to make sure that the pain never happens again. She includes how to incorporate stretching, how massage therapists, physical therapists, and doctors can help, and how to use a simple range of motion tests to determine areas of stiffness and damage that need attention.

About the Author

Elisabeth Aaslid is a writer, translator, and teacher who is currently teaching classes and conducting workshops in how to understand and heal muscle pain at Applied Health Body Works in Seattle. It was the challenge of attempting to resolve recurring muscle pain conditions she and her family experienced that led her to study physiology and anatomy and work with experts in the field of physical and massage therapy. Kate A. Schultz, P.T. has dealt extensively with acute muscular pain conditions in her work as a physical therapist in hospitals and general pediatrics clinics. Her special focus is manual muscle testing and range of motion texting. She is a graduate in physical therapy from the University of Iowa, and studied zoology, kinesiology, and physical education at Iowa State University.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches you how to do physical therapy on yourself, April 29 2003

This review is from: Healing Muscle Pain: Tools, Techniques, and Tips to Bring Your Muscles Back to Health (Paperback)
I have struggled with severe upper back pain for over two years. I have been to see doctors, had x-rays (twice) and taken anti-inflammatory drugs off and on the entire time. It was extremely frustrating and led me to believe this was something I was simply going to have to live with. This book was an incredible revelation. The book not only gives you real practical help in identifying exactly what muscle is injured, but then goes on to give a detailed game plan for self rehabilitation, and beyond that how to strengthen the injured area so it won't become a problem again. I have only been using the techniques for a week or so now, but the change and relief I am starting to feel are amazing. I am so excited to know (and feel) that this problem will eventually be resolved 100%. I highly (or any muscle pain) recommend this book for anyone who struggles with back pain. This is not some kind of new age herbal nonsense. This is more like learning to perform physical therapy on yourself.

It will show you how to identify your muscles, stretch them, and strengthen them - the key steps not just for healing pain, but for preventing it in the first place. Whether you work in an office, have a construction job, or do anything in between, this book belongs in your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars I used this book and changed my painful life, Aug 9 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing Muscle Pain: Tools, Techniques, and Tips to Bring Your Muscles Back to Health (Paperback)
What a great book! I'm giving it to my friends and family for Christmas. Everyone whines about muscle pain. "How's your knee?" or "Is your neck better?" It's time we stop whining and start having more fun. I've had bad low back pain for two years. I thought muscle pain is inevitable as we age. Certainly the doctors I saw were happy to give me expensive prescription pain relief drugs. But these didn't fix anything. I needed to understand the causes and effects. This book has changed my expectations. I don't have to hurt. Using this book, I have reduced my muscle pain drastically. I actually slept pain free last night for the first time in months. Now I understand how the back and front of the body are one system. No wonder the McKenzie method isn't enough.
