TRY THIS
Over a decade ago a
friend of mine avoided back surgery by discovering something called
“myotherapy” in Pain Erasure the Bonnie Prudden Way by Bonnie
Prudden (Ballentine Books). Susan and I bought a copy, flipped over
to the pages on bad backs, applied the techniques, got wonderful
relief – and promptly forgot about it, other than lending it to
friends with back trouble.
A few days ago I came
across the book and realized what I had been missing. Bonnie
Prudden became famous with exercise books, especially one for
exercising newborns and infants. The theory behind myotherapy is
that your muscles develop “trigger points” which trigger pain and
muscle spasms. By locating and pressing on the trigger points, you
can break that cycle. Bonnie Prudden can’t explain why it works,
just that it does.
I had been having
trouble with an old injury to my shoulder, and asked our Child with
the Healing Hands, Worth, to work the trigger points on my chest,
back, and arm. He did, with astounding relief. All I can tell you
is, it works for me, and I didn’t even have to become a pantheist or
take a course in acupuncture.
The book is still
available. Order Pain Erasure the
Bonnie Prudden Way
