Reddit mentions of Trail Guide to the Body: A Hands-On Guide to Locating Muscles, Bones, and More

Haha, nice... yeah, I've been (very) slowly making my way through this book, usually studying a bit as I injure myself, or run into flexibility issues or whatever else. And yeah, glad this was helpful to you... I'm not any kind of an expert on it, but glad I could at least relay a bit from my partner.

As far as self reliance goes... I suppose I should start using my sessions as a time to train my own sense of proprioception. (oh, there's an adhesion there? Is this the right amount of pressure to feel it? Let's see...) play around with feeling it before work and afterwards. I haven't even started on that journey yet, but you might be able to use professional sessions as a chance to at least learn the basics of how to navigate around on your own. My partner says I'm particularly prone to adhesions in my forearms (not so much everywhere else for some reason) so your mileage with this may vary. We should touch base in a few months, I'm paying a lot of attention to wrist stuff, so it'll be interesting to see where we both are a little ways down the line.
