IF YOU FOLLOWED my directions to put your house in order PART I, you are on your way to passing the Kraus-Weber Minimum Fitness Test for strength and flexibility of key posture muscles: abdominals, psoas, upper back, lower back, and back and hamstring flexibility. And if you did this you will already be feeling better — for once the key posture muscles are in order, everything becomes easier. You move better and you are not as tired because your muscles are working for you as they should.
“Pain, not death, is the enemy of mankind.”
—Bonnie Prudden
If you can now pass the Kraus-Weber test, you might even have noticed that your back pain is either much improved or is gone. Those who can’t pass the abdominal test have a 50% chance of having low back pain. Those who can’t touch the floor have a 50% chance of having low back pain. Those who can do neither one either have back pain or will get it soon.
Bonnie Prudden felt that if you were given the right tools and directions that you could help yourself, family and friends. She wrote the books for YOU. Simply put, Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy® is a combination of pressure to the Trigger Points followed by Corrective Exercise. Pressure to the Trigger Points helps the muscle to relax. The Corrective Exercise, which is a must if you are to get and remain pain-free, helps to retrain the muscle out of its old habit of tension to the new habit of stay relaxed. And like children the muscle needs to be reminded throughout your 
day that it needs to learn a new habit.
Trigger Points are irritable spots that get into the muscle when there is damage caused by over-use, blows, falls, etc. They lie around waiting for stress and a triggering mechanism which could be as simple as a sneeze or the strain of lifting a child or a box in an awkward position.
Trigger Points + Stress + Triggering Mechanism = Chronic Pain

“My Blessings. There is nothing new under the sun… or moon either for that matter. Everything was always here in one form or another. Dr. Travell says Myotherapy was born of serendipity. Dr. Tivy says it came about because known facts were seen from a different angle…without the limitations imposed by long training in one field to the exclusion of knowledge in most others. Whatever the elements gathered during its gestation, whatever or whoever is responsible for its birth, Myotherapy is here now, for you to use. Use it is good health.” —Bonnie Prudden
