Review
From a practical point of view, this is a really exceptional workbook, which could become a best-seller in its field. It is a wonderful overview concerning trigger points, which are the most common cause of frozen shoulder. I can recommend the book to all who are engaged in treating frozen shoulders, including medical doctors, therapists, and patients together with their partners.
--Dieter Pongratz, MD, professor in the department of Neurology at the University of Munich Hospital, Friedrich-Baur-Institute, in Munich, Germany
The Frozen Shoulder Workbook is truly a remarkable and comprehensive text that will be indispensable for patients with chronic shoulder pain. Written from a layperson's perspective, it is very readable and well illustrated, but still has plenty of background science and anatomy to satisfy clinicians as well. The book outlines a thorough approach to myofascial pain in the shoulder region and provides multiple treatment strategies to address the clinical
Book Description
<p>Author Clair Davies' own case of frozen shoulder led him to undertake an extensive study of trigger points and referred pain that eventually resulted in his best-selling Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. Now this renowned bodywork expert and educator revisits the subject of frozen shoulder with <B>The Frozen Shoulder Workbook</B>, offering the most detailed and comprehensive manual available for this painful and debilitating condition, a useful resource for self-care-with and without a partner-and for bodywork practitioners looking to expand their treatment repertoire.</P><BR><P>Frozen shoulder, the syndrome name for several joint and tendon-related symptoms, is experienced as a loss of motion and pain in the shoulder and upper arm. It is most often observed in women between the ages of forty and sixty and individuals with type-two diabetes. Unlike traditional medical treatments for the condition, which rely on painkillers, steroid injections, and physical therapy and often do little to moderate symptoms or speed recovery, trigger point therapy can bring real and lasting relief. This gentle massage technique targets localized areas of tenderness in soft tissue. Put it to work for you to relieve pain, restore range of motion, and shorten recovery times.</P><BR><P>

Very good book,
This review is from: The Frozen Shoulder Workbook: Trigger Point Therapy for Overcoming Pain and Regaining Range of Motion (Paperback)
If you can find all your trigger points and massage them every day, you will be free of pain in a short time. But the pain will return, until you find the real cause of it.

Shortfalls of traditional western medical approach,
By
This review is from: The Frozen Shoulder Workbook: Trigger Point Therapy for Overcoming Pain and Regaining Range of Motion (Paperback)
It is a widely know fact that western conservative medicine often sees itself as the only approach to health and anything else is an imposture. However western medicine is forever coming up with "the answer" to this or that health problem, only to change its opinion later down the track.Remember Thalidomide of the late 50s and early 60s and its shocking results. I am not undermining the value of western medicine and the fantastic things it has achieved, and is continuing to achieve: if I had a tumour, a heart condition, a broken bone I would be seeing my doctor. However western medicine is knowledge in evolution, and therefore does not have all the answers. Western medicine ofter fails in conditions like frozen shoulder, back pain and a host of other physical ailments. Those with painful shoulder conditions would do well to do themselves a favour & get this book. At the very worst you will get symptomatic pain relief. The previous reviewer trashes this book, but from his review it is clear he has never read it or even held it, and has just reacted to the description of the book on this website. His last sentence "just one more reason why lay-people have no business writing about medical treatments" is a classic example of the arrogance of western medicine, and the continued attempt of many health professionals to disempower people. This is a great book, I heartily recommend it!

this will help,
This review is from: The Frozen Shoulder Workbook: Trigger Point Therapy for Overcoming Pain and Regaining Range of Motion (Paperback)
this book is very helpful for sufferers of frozen shoulder. it teaches how to help yourself if you are not lucky enough to have a triggerpoint practitioner near enough for treatments. Yet if you are seeing someone for therapy it's essential to supplement with self treatment, which aids in the speed recovery. The discovery of triggerpoints in my muscles has helped to connect the dots with many of the aches and pains of muscular skeletal pain, from chronic low back pain in my younger years to a recent bout with frozen shoulder. I am so pleased to have not gone down the road of cortisone injections and physio therapy. Although the treatment of triggerpoints are often very painful, it really pays to stick with it... cause it is truly the key to permanent relief.
