Product Description
Working closely with trigger point pioneers Janet Travell and David Simons, Sharon Sauer developed a range of trigger point therapy treatment protocols for many areas of the body. Trigger Point Therapy for Low Back Pain presents her protocols for lumbar, buttock, and ilio-sacral pain. These gentle techniques are easy to learn and administer at home. They include compression, stretching, and range of motion exercises for the muscles that refer pain to the lower back and hip areas.
The book includes an overview of myofascial trigger point therapy, describing the basic process of treatment. It also includes an index of all pain and dysfunction symptoms pertaining to the hip and lower back, including pain, numbness, weakness, or restricted range of motion in specific areas, which will enable readers to find the muscles most likely to be the cause of the specific symptoms presented. Although the book is geared toward readers wishing to use the techniques for self-care, one chapter details how health care professionals can add these techniques to their practices.

I am very impressed with how comprehensive this book is. It thoroughly explains myofascial trigger point therapy in a way that is easy to understand. Anyone suffering from pain can immediately use the techniques to start getting relief.
The book also helps teach how to stay out of pain including self care tips, ergonomic information, corrective stretching and exercises. There is also information on posture and nutrition and how it relates to myofascial pain.
As president of the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists I highly recommend this book to both patients and practitioners who want to know more about treating low back pain. It is both simple for the general public and detailed and filled with “clinical pearls” for the seasoned therapist.

Trigger Point Therapy for Low Back Pain: A Self-treatment Workbook
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in Ohio. I just took my 12 yr old daughter to Chicago to have Mary work with her after finding her through the internet. Mary Biancalana’s work is truly excellent. We found her to be genuinely caring, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about Trigger Point Therapy, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain. She immediately put my daughter (and us) at ease and she helped my daughter get relief immediately. I also have long-term problems with my neck and am hesitant to let anyone work on it. After watching Mary work with my daughter, I asked and she kindly agreed to work with me. She was able to help me re-gain more mobility than I have had in my neck for 8 months- in 40 minutes.
This woman truly is gifted and I am eager to read her book and learn from her. Check out her website at: [...] . We can all learn ALOT from this woman.
Thank you, Mary!
