Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy - Low Back Pain

bonnieprudden.com - Alleviating lower back pain with Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy. To defuse ‘trigger points,’ pressure is applied to the muscle for several seconds by means of fingers, knuckles and elbows. The success of this method depends on the use of specific corrective exercise for the freed muscles. The method was developed by Bonnie Prudden in 1976.

Bonnie Prudden was a pioneer in muscle pain relief and management through Myotherapy and exercise. No other technique I've found was so carefully and medically studied and developed in order to arrive at this method of Myotherapy pain erasure. In the past 40 years, there have been many who have piled on to Prudden's discoveries, even taking the name 'myotherapy' to mean everything from massage to snake oil; however, there is only one Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy. Her secret - that goes beyond the notion of a technique that is used indefinitely - is that BP Myotherapy is used initially to address the immediate acute or chronic pain, but once the trigger points are neutralized, the therapy graduates into corrective exercise that keeps the pain away. This is not the model of medicine or chiropractic that both encourage indefinite returns to therapy. BP Myotherapy allows the patient to take personal control of pain and keep it away. Bonnie's books are invaluable to the understanding of this amazing technique. At age 73, I owe my mobility and pain-free existence to this technique.
