Concise and yet goes beyond pressure point therapy into much more!
Several years ago I read a newspaper article about pressure points in the body that could help relieve headaches. I figured it didn't cost anything to self-administer and I found it quite helpful, but I'd not really looked into for other pains. Not that I'm pushing 50 and getting more pains more frequently (specifically sciatica) I decided to take a look at what Dr. Pinkus had to say and ordered this set of booklets.<br /><br />You get two spiral-bound booklets with the main one being 75 pages long and covering a lot of ground. The second booklet (which slips vertically) is 34 pages and contains maps of pressure points on the body for specific issues. The smaller booklet has nothing in it that isn't in the larger book, but serves as a nice and more portable reference for when you actually are ready to get to work.<br /><br />The larger book runs 75 pages and the first 40 pages cover what pressure point therapy is, how to find these points on your body, how to apply pressure for healing, what not to do, and then he also has an informative section concerning diet and nutrition and the need for magnesium and Vitamin D. The last 35 pages of the main booklet contain larger versions of the body charts found in the smaller booklet.<br /><br />Yeah, it's a nice booklet, but does it work, too? I'd been given some stretches to do from my doctor's office for my sciatica and of course they never mentioned supplementing it with acupressure. I have done that, with the help of my wife though you can apply pressure in almost all areas by yourself, and it certain has helped my sciatic nerve issues, so this has been absolutely worth it for me. A great system for helping to manage body pains. Great stuff.
