Overview

Una guía para el tratamiento del dolor producido por lesiones comunes en los deportes y otras actividades físicas -Contiene técnicas que se pueden aplicar en el hogar para promover la sanación y la toma de conciencia de la musculatura del cuerpo -Explica como aliviar el dolor mediante el uso de masajes manuales junto con pequeñas pelotas para fisioterapia -Incluye una sección con ilustraciones de tratamientos organizados por zona del cuerpo. La inmensa mayoría de las restricciones físicas que padecen las personas activas comienzan por lesiones musculares a las que no se presta atención en los criterios convencionales sobre la atención médica ortopédica. Las lesiones de este tipo suelen producir dolor, pero por lo general son muy leves para atenderlas con férulas, escayolas o medicamentos, y no es común que impidan la participación en actividades físicas. Pero sí producen incomodidad y, con el paso del tiempo, acarrean dolores más intensos y limitaciones perceptibles del movimiento. En Puntos de activación: Manual de autoayuda, Donna Finando presenta métodos para la sanación y prevención de lesiones musculares. La autora identifica las causas del surgimiento de zonas de tensión y restricción muscular y los remedios para atenderlas. Detalla además muchas técnicas de autoayuda, con inclusión de métodos precisos de automasaje y estiramiento, y el uso de calor húmedo y/o hielo. En la sección de ilustraciones de referencia, organizada según las regiones del cuerpo, la autora describe el dolor vinculado con los puntos de activación en cada músculo de esa región, identifica las acciones y posiciones que provocan el surgimiento de esos puntos de activación y presenta instrucciones de masaje, tratamiento y estiramiento para poder liberar el músculo.

With an index of symptoms and easy to follow diagrams and illustrations, Finando offers you the opportunity to gain control over your pain through trigger point therapy. --Alec Franklor, Edge Life , June 2007


Acupuncture and massage practitioner Donna Finando, who specializes in myofascial techniques and has studied pain management with field pioneer Janet Travell, M.D., presents Trigger Point Self-Care Manual For Pain-Free Movement , a guide to self-care practices for promoting a healthier and happier life. Chapters examine the human body muscle by muscle, describing the different aches and pains that can result from stress or injury in each muscle, and teach readers about the trigger points in muscles that are particularly susceptible to damage and use pain as a warning sign to prevent even more serious injury. Exercises, stretches, and solid medical advice for taking good care of one's muscles fill this handy guide, written especially for lay readers and illustrated with black-and-white diagrams and red highlights. While the Trigger Point Self-Care Manual cannot replace a doctor's supervision, it is a valuable tool for personal health and maintenance and highly recommended, especially for people leading active lifestyles or those susceptible to muscular stiffness and soreness. -- The Midwest Book Review , Feb 2006 Any who suffer from muscle pain will find her methods specific and useful, based on her acupuncture and massage background and studies with Janet Travell, MD, a pioneer in pain management. --Diane Donovan, Bookwatch , April 2006 With an index of symptoms and easy to follow diagrams and illustrations, Finando offers you the opportunity to gain control over your pain through trigger point therapy. --Alec Franklor, Edge Life , June 2007
