I do the self massage with tennis ball in sock on wall, 6 to 8 times a day. I have also ordered a thera cane.
the best, is the feeling of the muscle relaxing, especially at bed time.

sounds very interesting, I do see a very good massage therapist that works on trigger points, it's been a little less since surgery because she has to have me sit up and wear my neck brace, so I've been saving my remaining coverage. But I like the idea of being able to use a ball at home. I have a small ball given to me by my massage therapist.
I will look into that book, thank you for the tip!!
I'm all for trying non-medicinal ways to treat pain.
Take care, Cathie
