Product Description
<p> <I>I have such a bad headache!</I> For many of us, this is an oft repeated cry of anguish. Statistics about headaches and migraines are downright astonishing: One in six people have frequent headaches, and of those, one in ten suffers from migraines. You are not alone. Headaches and migraines result in more than 10 million doctor visits each year. If you struggle frequently with headache pain, this book offers a welcome solution. Trigger point therapy is an effective self-care approach you can use to get relief from headache pain.</P><BR><P>Trigger points form in a portion of the muscle cell where blood flow is reduced and metabolic wastes are not being exchanged for oxygen and nutrients. When enough trigger points are located together, they can form palpable knots in the tissue. Trigger points can cause pain, either in the area of the trigger point, or by referral to other areas of the body. Trigger points can be treated by applying pressure to affected areas, often providing instant relief. This book explains trigger point physiology and then offers a complete program for self-care that includes detailed illustrations of all pressure and stretching techniques. In addition, it provides an in-depth look at the factors that cause and perpetuate trigger points, such as body mechanics, injuries, diet and nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and emotional factors, and provides solutions to address each perpetuating factor.</p>

I have found this book to be an excellent resource. The format is easy to follow and the diagrams facilitate the process greatly. Since starting to work on my trigger points and following the simple stretches I have found great relief. This is somthing that anyone can do anywhere you are, there is no need for expensive equipment or tools.

Invaluable Reference Book,
By KMH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trigger Point Therapy for Headaches and Migraines: Your Self -Treatment Workbook for Pain Relief (Paperback)
Ms. DeLaune shares her extensive knowledge of trigger points, and how they can cause persistent pain, in this valuable reference book. The book is cleverly designed in 3 parts, which allows the reader to learn more about trigger points and causes of headaches, while immediately starting to use the self-help techniques. The photographs and diagrams make the material highly accessible, even to those who are unfamiliar with anatomy. The book is most valuable for those who are willing to make the commitment to treat their own symptoms. I highly recommend this book for it's diagnostic approach, helpful hints, and muscle-by-muscle approach. As a long-time headache sufferer, I can attest that Ms. DeLaune's techniques can provide relief.

Lots of info!,
By B. Pickett "jack of all trades; master of none" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trigger Point Therapy for Headaches and Migraines: Your Self -Treatment Workbook for Pain Relief (Paperback)
The author not only discusses trigger points and their associated pain patterns, but also gets into how diet, ergonomics, and other factors contribute to headaches. I prefer Clair Davies writing style (see his Trigger Point Therapy Workbook), but Valerie Delaune does an excellent job as well. Detailed pictures of real models are very helpful and are on almost every page.Bottom line: Handy reference if headaches are your #1 concern. If not, go for Clair Davies larger book covering the whole body with somewhat less detail. 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful

Great Book!,
By W. Rivera - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trigger Point Therapy for Headaches and Migraines: Your Self -Treatment Workbook for Pain Relief (Paperback)
Ive been a Massage therapist for more than 10 years,specializing in Neuromuscular therapy and Structural Bodywork. Valerie DeLaune has written a great book! Very simple to understand for the laypeople and great information for the beginner therapist and the seasoned therapist. This should be a book to recommend for your clients. I recommend them to my patients and had great results. It has really precise explanation on how to treat trigger points,what causes them, among other interesting information. If you like to get relief from your headaches and migraines this is a must for you!
