Product Description
“I have such a bad headache!” 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.
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. Trigger Point Therapy for Headaches and Migraines 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.

The Pressure Positive Company has designed and manufactured tools used widely by patients and practitioners in trigger point therapy since 1980. Since that time, active and informed self care has become increasingly recognized as a crucial component of non invasive trigger point pain management and treatment.
Valerie DeLaune’s Headache and Migraine Workbook delivers highly effective, safe and easy to learn self care techniques that will help engage the patient as an active partner in easing pain and in improving function. I can therefore confidantly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from stubborn and debilitating head, neck, shoulder and back pain and dysfunction.

I also have Valerie DeLaune’s excellent CD-ROM, “Pain Relief with Trigger Point Self-help.” I don’t actually suffer from headaches or migraines, myself, but bought this for a friend. The other reviewers have positive experience in using this book, and discuss it very well - I can only add that I think the book is well organized, clearly written, and importantly, has numerous photos.

As with all the reviews already written I agree that this is an excellent resource book to have. It explains everything there is to know about the trigger points. It also gives credit where credit is due to Dr. Travell, the first real trigger point pioneer and carries her studies even further into present day breakthroughs. It has detailed diagrams as well as easily understood techniques to use on clients or on yourself. This book also contains a very in depth chapter on nutrients and vitamins that should be taken for muscle health. Not to mention the insistence of water..(FINALLY) for muscle health and growth. I am a massage therapist specializing in medical massage, deep tissue therapy with neuromuscular and myofascial release and of course trigger point therapy and encounter an extrordinary amount of clients with head pain. This book is my new “go to book” for double checking my techniques. I also keep many of them on hand to give to clients for home self treatment. This book is easy to read, learn from and use. Truly a must have book for not only massage therapists, but anyone in the health care field that sees people for head pain.

This book says it all and shows you how to take care of yourself. If you are looking for something the medical community has been unable to provide for you (as in relief without pharmaceuticals) this is it. Valerie DeLaune knows how to get this valuable information on paper and into your head, very accessible to anyone who can read. I highly recommend it.

I suffer from frozen shoulder and wanted to find an alternative to traditional treatment. A friend recommended this book, and it has helped me a lot. I would recommend it to anyone with shoulder tightness and pain.
