Description
Foot, ankle, knee, and leg pain is extremely common, and recurring discomfort in these areas can affect mobility and become seriously detrimental to sufferers' health and quality of life. Trigger Point Therapy for Foot, Ankle, Knee, and Leg Pain presents complete treatment protocols readers can use at home to relieve pain in each of the fifteen muscle groups in this area and to prevent the pain from coming back. A trigger point forms when there is reduced blood flow through part of a muscle, leading to increased metabolic waste and reduced oxygen and nutrient flow. When trigger points group together, they form painful "knots" in the tissue. In this book, readers learn how to locate their pain and treat the associated muscle group. Each treatment ends with stretches, which help to condition the muscle to prevent further pain.
