we all get knots in our legs and throughout our bodies. i know i have one in my back all the time and of course i know that i get them in my thighs. especially in my left leg because my big black pipe lets me know they are there whenever i use it.
in the fall jndeleon gave me a book on taking care of your trigger points through self massage. i'm sorry that i don't have the book on hand to give the title. i doubt there are many books on trigger point therapy but when i do see it tomorrow hopefully i will remember to add the name of it to this post.
so the book sat on my table until about two weeks ago. spring break was the first chance i had to read it. i was taking organic chemistry in the fall and winter, or should i say it was taking me. i had no chance to read it until spring break.
let me tell you it was incredible. i read through the first 3 chapters to get an idea about the book and how to apply the techniques. once i did that i went to the specific sections that i needed.
Planter Fasciitis is caused by trigger points in your calf! did you know that? if you did then why did you keep that to yourself?
you know how your IT band kills you when you roll on foam or your pipe? you know that can be from at least 6 trigger points in you thighs and two in your buttocks?
i can't recommend this book enough. "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by Clair Davies. there, i found the book and it's on Amazon. do yourself a huge favor and get it.
it talks about how the trigger points cause referred pain. you have a knot in one spot and feel the pain elsewhere. get it, it is so worth it.
