Re: recommendations from Dr Francomano

[Guest guest]

Hi guys..

Just wanted to add a little something to this discussion.

I am not familiar with " The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook " , per se. However

years ago ( I was a fitness instructor ) I took a course with Bonnie Prudden

on Myotherapy.

It was really fascinating... plus she is an incredible woman.

From what I can see there seem to be some of the some elements involved. I

have personally used this time and time again over the years for various

pain relief. I am NOT " certified " in this however. That requires far more

training that I have.

Some of the techniques are also used by Osteopaths, I believe.

I just checked and the website for this is:

http://www.bonnieprudden.com/ ... some of her awards, etc. are also shown.

There is also an association with practitioners available on line,

http://www.myotherapy.org/

Just thought I would mention it as there is essentially no " spinal

manipulation " involved... I would gladly try to answer any questions that

anyone might have.

Also wanted to mention I had my second cataract surgery about a month ago,

and so far soooooooooooooo good. I am really thrilled with the results. (

knock wood <g>) The techniques employed for this now are fascinating!

Now back to holiday prep! <g>

Take care,
