Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy is very very effective for Frozen
shoulder! I am in the Pittsburgh PA area if I can help anyone with
it there!
This is a note that I send out in response to requests for therapists
in a persons area. VERY effective for all kinds of pain issues. It
has changed my life for the better, I used to get migraines and was
dx with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain!
If I can answer questions, please contact me directly... I dont
always check this very very busy forum...
Sadly the training programs are few and far between, this means there
are not enough well trained therapists. You will find them listed in
the "member directory that can be found at http://
www.myofascialtherapy.org/. You will see a blue box on the left side.
Hopefully you may be able to see someone close to you in that listing.
You can also email the therapists there and ask if they know of
anyone close to you if they are not close enough. There may be
someone that they know that is good, but not in our organization.
Another possibility is to send me another note and I will post your
request on our professional email group which includes some therapist
that are not on the website listing.
You may also find some help by joining the myotherapy yahoo group
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/myotherapy/ On this group
there are other folks with myofascial pain and therapists that are
doing trigger point work. You can ask questions and request help.
This group is not affiliated with the NAMTPT in any way.
You can try to find a therapist at
http://www.myopainseminars.com/seminars/travell/series_grads
http://www.bonnieprudden.com/helpline.html
http://www.nmtcenter.com/practitioner/
Our website also lists several training programs and you might try
contacting them for a lead.
I can't personally vouch for any practitioners listed in these sites
but it is a good start. Ask them about their training. I hope this
helps.
Another possibility is to come to the training programs yourself or
encourage a friend or loved one to do so. That may sound far-
reaching, but that is actually what most of us have done. So many
MTPT where having pain themselves (some debilitating) and found it so
extremely helpful that we changed our lives and went to school to
learn to help ourselves and others! (part of class is working on each
other)
You can also look for books by Claire Davies Trigger Point Therapy
Workbook and Frozen Shoulder Workbook... big help for self care.
Please let me know if I can help you further or if you are having
problems. [email protected]
