Book Reviews of The Concise Book of Trigger Points, Second Edition
Book Review: Great resource
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. It is so helpful with my study and it is not as expensive as many other trigger point manuals. Tells everything you need to know. Insertion, origin, symptoms that can mimic muscle pain, referral patterns, exercises, and more. If you need a good reference book this is the one. It is not as detailed as travell and simons book, but is also only a tenth of the price and contains most of the pertinent information.
Summary of The Concise Book of Trigger Points, Second Edition
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.
