Fantastic Information

This book made more sense than anything else 've read about back problems. The chapters on muscle physiology were very detailed, but still understandable for a lay person like me -- and also explained so much about why the usual techniques for helping back pain don't work. There's also a fascinating chapter about health problems you don't usually think of as muscle related. A couple of reviews here sounded a little sour, but I recommend it highly!

For Every Massage Therapist's Library

Finally, someone is speaking out about exercise and how healthy it really isn't! Constant contraction without proper alignment and balance will add to the problems. I am not sure about his virus theory of muscle spasm, but I do see alot of the same problems on the same days. The diagrams are not mislabeled as someone else mentioned- you just have to realize look carefully. I have had some Griner work done and it is great!

Found that the technique really does work

I had horrible muscle spasms and lameness as the result of back surgery. I read this book. I underwent the therapy. Muscle spasms and lameness gone. Griner is a genius. More people need to learn this technique. Many are suffering needlessly. The title of the book really put me off for some time before I picked it up and read it. Wish I had read it earlier.

Excellent help for Fibromialgia patients

Reading this book gave me important information which enabled me to provide help to my wife who suffers from fibromialgia. A unique approach to many problems that are muscle related.

Great addition to your massage regimen

The first time I read the book, I definitely felt that the massage technique chapter needed to be expanded. Thanks to one of my clients who decided to call the Los Angeles information directory and found Thomas Griner phone number, I now know that the technique is actually very simple yet very effective. I have to say from personal experiences that the technique actually works. I have to give the book a five star rating, because of this. I do not think that it is the only technique that can solve the problems discussed in the book, but I believe it is one of the many ways that you can use to help your clients or people you know, or even yourself to achieve greater health. This is not a relaxation massage technique, it is an actual "therapeutic" fix-me up technique. Your clients will probably not crave it like they crave relaxation massage, but if they have pain, this is a good way to relieve their pain. Thomas Griner's personality comes across as an allopathic medicine hater; he comes across as almost eccentric. But so does Einstein. Get over it, learn the technique, it works !!! A toast for Mr. Griner for taking the time to write the book.
