Mike,
         I have to admit that I haven't gotten far enough along to do ALL=20
my own therapy yet. I certainly intend to with the information found in Mr.=
=20
Davies book. I see no reason to pay someone else for what I can do myself=20
and really, if you think about it, no one can possibly do it like you would=
=20
anyway. Just yesterday my wife and kids (girls) tried to give me a back=20
rub. The whole time was filled with " a little to the left, no ... too far,=
=20
now down a bit, just a little more, etc. etc. It seems that when someone=20
else does it they're always sort of skipping over the area needed but never=
=20
quite pin pointing it. The friend that gave me my copy of the book uses a=20
sock with a super ball in it and puts that between his back and the wall.=20
He finds the spot he needs right away and keeps the ball right on it while=
=20
he works out the "knot". I think that's as good an argument as any for=20
doing it yourself. Another might be, just how many times can you afford to=
=20
go to your therapist?

best,
Greg Newell
