Fibromyalgia cure?

I have taught thousands of doctors, therapists and patients a
specialized therapy called Trigger Point Therapy. I'm now retired but
have posted most of my training on the Internet for everyone.

Fibromyalgia is defined as having tender points (aka trigger points) in
9 of 16 locations on the body. A tender (trigger) point is simple an
spot within a muscle that hurts more than it should when pressed on
with firm pressure and begins to change for the better (not necessarily
go away) within about 60 seconds or less. The change for the better is
usually a lessening in intensity, a dulling from a sharp stabbing pain
or a narrowing of the broad pain area generated with the pressure.

One thing to consider is that if the pain doesn't change for the
better, consider where you are pressing. If it's on a bony knob
(prominance) or a scar or an embedded nodule, it may not change and
it's not a trigger point. Another thing to consider is to not press
harder as it dissipates to try to get rid of all the pain. That doesn't
work.

The reality of the condition is that these TPs are chronic (always
there) and so small that they can't be found by any means except the
pressure method. Too many doctors and therapist believe they can feel
them, but studies have shown that they can only feel the really large
ones and miss about 98% of all the rest. The real key is that the
patient is the one that feels the pain and when it changes, not the
doctor or therapist.

What is it? In actuality, it is nothing more than a muscle spasm. Only
instead of it being the whole muscle made up of millions of individual
cells, it is only a small cluster of cells (about 10,000 to 50,000)
that for some unknown reason develop the spasm and then never stop. A
lot of research has been done and even the top specialists in
physiology don't really understand it as well as they would like. These
are called trigger points because when a normal amount of activity
cuases the muscle to work, it causes these micro spasms to get worse
and cause pain.

However, knowing what is the cause of the pain can help alleviate it
and even cure it. By applying the firm pressure to all the TPs in an
area (takes about 10 minutes) you will find a marked improvement. This
will last for a few hours. However, by keeping this therapy up two to
three times a day you can eventually retrain your muscles TPs to remain
relaxed and eventually cease. Hence, even in the worst cases of
fibromyalgia, there is a possible cure.

If you would like more information on self care or if you are a doctor
or therapist wanting more information and instructions on the most
effective application of TP Therapy and it's use in practice go to
