Product Description
Most muscular aches and pains are caused or affected by untreated "trigger points," localized tender spots in muscles. Understanding and treating these points can lead to rapid and lasting pain relief. Trigger point therapy is a powerful tool in the management of both acute and chronic pain, including such common problems as headaches, TMJ syndrome, and back pain.
Written in a straightforward style, "The Concise Book of Trigger Points "is designed for the student and practitioner of massage/bodywork, physical therapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy, sports therapy, and any other health-related field. It functions both as an entry-level textbook and an authoritative reference for even the most experienced therapist. The first four chapters describe the physiology of trigger points and the general methods of treatment. The following six chapters are organized by muscle groups; each two-page spread features detailed color illustrations of each major skeletal muscle, accompanied by an explanation of each muscle's origin, insertion, action, and function. The physiological implications of the trigger points in each muscle are discussed, along with treatment techniques. This edition contains updated text and a self-help section addressing common pain complaints, including headache, neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain, and TMJ syndrome.

Having received Trigger point therapy and found it extremely useful. As a massage Therapist myself I wanted to learn more. I was not disappointed. What a great visual and informative book. It did not baffle me with too much anatomical information but told me just enough. Anyone without my training could pick up this book and learn a lot from it.

This really is the best book on the subject of trigger point therapy. Clear, concise diagrams of pain referral patterns makes locating the culprit muscle and dealing with the problem so much easier. The authour also details other possible causes of pain and suggests consideration of alternative therapy avenues to try. This is simply a 'must have' book for any serious remedial or sports massage therapist.
