Painless Trigger Point

"I couldn't believe how much younger it made me look and feel!"

Raj has been a dream come true for me. I just assumed that being almost 40 years old meant the aches and pains I had were here to stay. Raj with his inspired system of Painless Trigger Point Release proved this false. I had a horrible nerve pinched sensation when I turned my head to the left and a constant dull throbbing in my right arm. When I went to see Raj he quickly identified the problem and made the connection between the two symptoms. In one session not only had the pain gone from both issues but also I had the side effect of looking more youthful! As it turns out, because of the muscle strain I had been holding up my shoulders. With the tension gone my shoulders went down revealing a longer neck. I couldn't believe how much younger it made me look and feel! I consider Raj a miracle worker. He has spent many years perfecting his painless and highly effective technique and compassionately shares his gift with all of us. Thank you Raj, I truly appreciate you.

I'm no longer a skeptic...

My story starts 22 years ago when I injured my back weight lifting. I have had bouts with severe back pain usually twice a year or more since then. Now that I am getting older I've noticed that the frequency for my back to go out is increasing and the recovery takes weeks rather than days. I reinjured my back Christmas weekend 2011. Three weeks passed and my back wasn't getting any better. My parents had been telling me to go see Raj because he has helped both of them with their pain issues. After chiropractic treatments and doctor visits over the years I was skeptical, to say the least, because nothing seemed to help. So I decided to follow my parent\'s advice and give Raj a try. I figured if he could help them he could probably help me too. I have had 5 sessions with Raj so far. The turning point for me was between the 3rd and 4th sessions. Up until then I still had my doubts but was holding out and following his advice. I'm happy to say that after the 4th visit my back pain and other symptoms associated with it are gone. I'm about 3/4 of the way through a bathroom remodel that I was putting off because of my back problems.

Needless to say, I'm no longer a skeptic but am a believer in triggerpoint therapy. Thank you Raj!

"I needed to complete 26.2 and that was after the swim and the bike"

"I had a life goal. Complete and Ironman triathlon. Swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles. I started training, completed two short distance races and while running got muscle injury in my right hip.

No one could fix. The first time it flared up I was in physical therapy for six months, and stopped running for six months. When I resumed exercise, the pain was back in a matter of months. I tried another physical therapist and stopped running again, the pain was manageable, but still there, and I was afraid to run and aggravate the injury. The Ironman race loomed ahead and I was swimming and biking, but no running. I wondered how I would ever make it to the race!
A friend recommended I see Raj. In the first session with him the pain was gone. I left in disbelief afraid to try it out with a run. But he instructed me to run. the pain came back, but not too bad. After my next session, I ran without pain and Raj instructed me to feel for the tightness as that precedes the pain. I did, and he worked on that. I started running, slowly building up to race day. In between runs I would see Raj and he would work on my tightness and sometimes my pain. Until finally race day was here. I hadn't run more than 16 miles before the race and I needed to complete 26.2 and that was after the swim and the bike. But I did it, and I felt NO PAIN! I was able to complete my goal and I'm so thankful for all that Raj did to get me to the starting line and to the finish!
Raj Nydoo has miraculous hands and uses an amazing massage process that pinpoints and rids your body of pain and tightness. Thank you Raj!"

"we have been able to focus on the specific muscles and advance the healing process"

I have a similar success story, just like everybody else on this page and after my first visit, but five weeks ago I was sideswiped on my motorcycle and had to lay it down. I sustained injuries to my right ankle, where the car struck me and to my lower back from the fall. Luckily I was wearing my protective gear (helmut, jacket, gloves and boots) and did not recived any scraps or broken bones.

Through Raj's system, "what movement causes the pain sensation" we have been able to focus on the specific muscles and advance the healing process. The first two sessions, we took a wholistic approach, focusing on the whole back and the calf since the ankle was still swollen. Then for the next two sessions, we focused on more specific areas.

I dont know why, but I feel like I will be completely healed and in better physical ability (compared to preaccident) by the new year. This is because of Raj's total restoration approach. As we are healing the new injuries, we are also healing old ones.

Thank you.

"I couldn't sleep and the pain, especially in my lower back and legs was bad..."

The very first time I had a treatment with Raj - I experienced complete relief from an episode of nagging body aches. The flare up had been constant for two weeks. I couldn't sleep and and the pain, especially in my lower back and legs was bad...a distant, heavy, blanket of ache that had taken over my body. Raj's mastery and magic fingers found the points that were causing the problem and I swear, in one treatment they were gone and have not returned. I have suffered from these type of body aches for years and my only wish is that I'd found Raj a lot sooner! I now know Trigger Point Therapy to be a brilliant means to a more painless life and I continue to work with Raj and on my own to rid my body of the tension that causes so much havoc when left unchecked. A big, sincere THANK YOU for your expertise, Raj and your genuine desire to help your patients.

"I had been on disability for six months, but had to return to work while still being in chronic pain"

I had been seeking relief for several years from a variety of repetitive stress injuries � neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, cervical strain � all in all, upper body aches and pains with tingling, burning, and numbness in the arms and hands, and had already worked with physical therapists, other massage therapists, a chiropractor and an orthopedist. I had been on disability for six months, but had to return to work while still being in chronic pain. Then I worked with a terrific physiatrist who suggested trigger point injections and trigger point massage therapy. At first it was difficult to find someone who could perform this type of massage until I found Raj on the Internet. He was willing to talk on the phone about my issues and convinced me his technique was worth a try. After the first session, I was very pleased with how I felt and how long the relief lasted. And after each session I felt better and better. The best part of Raj�s treatments is that we could discuss what was happening in my muscles so that I could also perform my own trigger point work with rubber balls and other tools at home since I couldn�t see him as often as I needed. He has a wealth of knowledge and a wonderful technique that does not exhaust your muscles, but relieves them softly and effectively. If I had experienced Raj�s technique at the first sign of my injuries, it would have saved me years of pain and frustration. Thank you so much, Raj.

"Through diligent work with Raj I am now able to dance, do yoga, and jog on the elliptical on a daily basis."

I have never physically seen Raj however he has helped me more than almost every body worker I have ever visited. Although I�m only 26 I had been dealing with chronic hip pain for over 8 years with no solid diagnosis until I was hit by a car and forced to have a special type of MRI. They detected a cartilage tear in my hip and said the only cure was surgery. Yet a year and a half after surgery I was in more pain prior than ever before; I could hardly stand or sit without major pain shooting down my inner leg, abs and lower back. I soon discovered that I had developed hundreds of trigger points throughout my entire right side of my body. Although I found a great trigger point needlist he was expensive and I couldn�t afford going to him as often as I needed.

In desperate need of help, I searched the internet and found Raj�s site. I was impressed by all the success stories yet disheartened to find out that he lived several states away from me. Although I was skeptical to work with someone long distance I was drawn by his optimism, his years of experience, and affordability. Raj convinced me that through his online communication system and occasional phone/skype calls he would teach me how to treat myself. I cannot express how thankful I am that I decided to try this new approach to healing. It wasn�t a quick fix because of all the years I�d been compensating for my hip injury. However, after five months of learning how to treat my trigger points I am able to exercise like I haven�t been able to for years! I also now have the tools to treat and overcome any trigger points that might pop up in the future.

What is truly amazing about Raj is his ability to inspire hope during hopeless situations and his relentless determination to solve the hardest problems. Several times I called Raj in tears about my chronic pain yet he wouldn�t let me wallow in discouragement. Both Raj and my trigger point needlist have said that my trigger points were the worst they�ve ever seen yet through diligent work with Raj I am now able to dance, do yoga, and jog on the elliptical on a daily basis! I highly recommend Raj to anyone who has trigger points, whether you can see him in person or not.

"I had just about given up hope of finding real pain relief..."

"When I first met Raj I was desperate for pain relief. I have a rare bone disease. This causes me to have moderate to severe pain on many of my joints. When I met Raj I had just about given up hope of finding real pain relief. Also, my arms and shoulders hurt constantly from desk work at a keyboard. Raj is a true self taught healer. In a few sessions he was able to pinpoint and relieve my pain. This is the best treatment I have found for my aching joints.
Most of the time now I am pain free. Raj also shows you ways to stretch your joints and avoid the pain causing situations. This is done by treating the area before pain develops into a chronic problem.
I would highly recommend Raj to anyone who suffers from pain. He is well worth it. "

"I competed in my first triathlon about 3 months after therapy and I placed 5th"

"As a way to stay fit, I was running low mileage for about 8 years. However, it became redundant and boring and my fitness level was stagnant. So, I decided to start racing, and as some may say, I got bit by the bug. I moved from a 5K to a 10K to a 1/2 marathon in 2 months. I over trained and despite feeling my body begin to breakdown, I still competing the in the 1/2 and ended up tearing the lower part of my gastrocnemius. At that point I decided to start cross training with swimming and cycling to give my leg a rest, but then I got bit by the triathlon bug and needed to get my running back. When I met Raj (limping around), he told me about 'painless trigger point�'. Although I didn't think this was possible I decided to make an appointment and see if it could help. Not only was there no pain, but in a matter of 3 sessions I was running without pain. His online feedback system made it possible to communicate between sessions and really improved the quality of my therapy. I competed in my first triathlon about 3 months after therapy and I placed 5th. I really owe a big thanks to Raj for my fast recovery (without pain!)."

"I slept like a baby that night and had lasting results from just 1 treatment."

"For me it has been about 5 years since I was involved in an auto accident. Since that day I have struggled with Chronic Myofascial pain which involves multiple Trigger points in my shoulders and neck areas.

Throughout the past few years I have had them treated by various massage therapists and it was always the same result, very painful and not very effective. This all changed the very first time I met Raj. He was very knowledgeable and his painless trigger point technique is the best I have ever had! I slept like a baby that night and had lasting results from just 1 treatment. I highly recommend Raj especially if you have been experiencing painful trigger points or Chronic Myofascial pain. "

Thank you

"I was a bit doubtful, but was willing to try anything so I gave it a try."

"Hi, my name is Aljuane' and I have been seeing Raj for the past month. I suffered from whiplash in my neck down to my upper shoulder, and a tense upper and lower back. I have been to chiropractors, doctors, physical therapist, and massage therapist and was still unable to be cured. After a bit of surfing on the web I came across an article that mentioned trigger point. Then I researched trigger point in my area and located Raj. I was a bit doubtful, but was willing to try anything so I gave it a try. Little did I know that the pain was decreasing tremendously. Raj believes in communication, something I wasn't used to during therapy; normally the therapist does all the talking. Well anyways, Raj thank you for all your hard work, dedication, and faith."

"...and most importantly your technique actually works."

"Dear Raj,
For some reason I'm yet to discover, I seem to have had trigger points in most of the muscles in my body. Generally they're not too bad and I just put up with them but just before I met you the pain in my neck and shoulders had become quite debilitating. It was bad enough to make me roll over onto my stomach to get out of bed rather than lift my head up using my neck muscles, and my attempts at self-treatment were going nowhere. I had read several of the good books on the subject, trawled the web extensively looking for something that would help, and tried most of the techniques I found.

It was by a stroke of good luck that I found you online. I searched for the three words, trigger point breakthrough, on Google. The rationale was, that someone might have some new information about trigger points since the old info wasn't cutting it for me. Your home page came out top of the list and is nicely structured, sensible, and suggests that many trigger point related problems can be treated if they're approached in the right way. You sounded like you had done some research and experimentation and had found an approach that worked. That prompted me to send you my first of many emails asking if you had written a book or articles I could read and go about my merry way. I got a lot more than I bargained, for!
The four things that stand out for me are your focused and friendly attempts to understand the total situation, your sound knowledge of anatomy and trigger points, your use of appropriate and really neat communication technology, and most importantly your technique actually works. I still have trigger points in most muscles and would dearly love it if someone were to come up with a simple activity or nutrient to make them go away but I guess that's unlikely. Of course now the elusive cure doesn't matter as much because, thanks to you, I have the techniques at my fingertips to deal with any flare-up or problem trigger points quickly and effectively. Thank you very much indeed.

I had been in chronic pain ever since my car accident in March. I had a torn rotator cuff and a ruptured disk in my neck which pressed on nerves that caused extreme pain in my neck, shoulders, chest, arms and hands.

My life was on hold for all those months until I discovered trigger point therapy.

I went to several doctors, an orthopedic surgeon and physical therapy. Nothing helped, in fact my condition just got worse.

Raj is truly a miracle worker. I felt relief in the first session and by the third my pain was almost completely gone. My quality of life has gone from miserable to happy and active. He has absolutely changed my life.

I would recommend this work to anyone that has any pain related problems. I don't know exactly how trigger point works... but it works!
