Description

This new edition explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points-tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibres & connective tissues. Understanding & treating these points can lead to rapid, effective and lasting pain relief. (2008)224pp

Painful aching areas that do not respond to local treatment often have remote 'trigger points', that refer pain to them. They are most often found in muscles, but also in fascia, periosteum, tendons, ligaments, and skin and are caused by such factors as physical and psychological stress, trauma and lack of rest.

The first three chapters provide a sound background tot he physiology of trigger points and the general methods of treatment. The following six chapters are organised by muscle groups: each two-page spread feature detailed colour illustrations of each major skeletal muscle and referred pain patterns, together with informtion on each muscles's origin, insertion, action, and function. The physiological implications of the trigger points in each muscle are discussed, along with treatment techniques.
