Sufferers of chronic pain well know the frustration of treatments involving endless rounds of drugs or expensive physical therapy - that may or may not offer relief. In "Acupressure Taping", authors Hecker and Liebchen present a comprehensive guide to a new method of pain treatment - acutaping - which offers a much simpler and more effective alternative. In acutaping, elastic tape is placed over the afflicted area in accordance with related acupuncture points. During the course of normal movement throughout the day, the elastic tape provides a gentle but consistent massage to the inflamed area. Because the skin adheres to the tape, it is shifted against the subtissue during motion, causing lymph tissue to drain and connective tissue to be massaged. Step-by-step instructions are illustrated in full colour detailing how to self-treat pain in all parts of the body. The authors show how most bodily dysfunctions can be self-treated through this innovative method. In combining elements of Chinese medicine with osteopathy, acutaping produces a method of treatment for ailments ranging from chronic back pain and tennis elbow to menstrual pain and migraines.Acutaping is an easy and effective treatment - without side effects - that offers welcome relief to sufferers of chronic pain.
