Synopsis
This profusely illustrated guide to self-massage is by Clair Davis, who certainly is an enthusiast. A former piano technician who turned to massage therapy after a bout of serious pain that was resolved by a therapist, Davis became enamored of a two volume text, MYOFASCIAL PAIN AND DYSFUNCTION by Travell and Simons, two medical professionals. Their books identified trigger points in the body, highly localized knots that cause referent pain. Davis saw this as groundbreaking work in a neglected field and dedicated his time to the topic. THE TRIGGER POINT THERAPY WORKBOOK, a true work of love, uses pictures and text to map out each region of the body, showing where trigger points can occur and how to apply self-massage to alleviate the situation. Along the way, Davis explains the role of muscles and their membranes in health, and how trigger points may explain a range of illnesses, including fibromyalgia.
Publisher's Note
A step-by-step guide to self-treatment for pain shows readers how to use trigger point therapy to relieve soft-tissue pain, repetitive strain injuries, accident trauma, and sports injuries.

The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook
Created: 23/12/07
) As A Massage Therapist, I love this book for its easy to use techniques for maintaining self health. I bought several copies to give as Holiday gifts for my family. The book takes the information found in the Janet Travell, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction; The Trigger Point Manual and combines it with the author's personal experience to provide individuals with the tool of knowledge to maintain a painfree life. Using simple techniques of hand, tennis ball, and theracane, an individual can bring optimal health to muscle previously held in spasm by trigger points. It's a great book- but only if the reader practices the techniques- even for people not in pain- the techniques would contribute to optimal range of motion and muscle health. For people in pain, the techniques are salvation.

I decided to buy this book because I have had ongoing neck pain for the past 15 years from two car accident where I got whiplash. I constantly crack my neck and at times it causes me much discomfort.I love this book.I started doing some of the trigger points for my neck and it has helped tremendously. I even bought one of the tools recommended to get those hard to reach spots on the back. I also started trying it for TMJ and found those points to be very painful so I know I need to work on them.I was so excited to have found something I can do myself to help me with the pain and tension in my body. Excellent book, well written in easy to understand verbage. Diagrams make it easy to find exactly where the trigger points are. I even ordered this book for my sister. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about helping themselves.

I love it!!! recommend it to everyone!!

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and have taken a few hands-on courses in Trigger Point Therapy, but this book has been more helpful than any of my previous studies. It is accurate, specific and extremely well organized. This is a reference book that I will keep at hand and refer to regularly. Robert Farnell LMT.
Amazing book!

This book is an absolute MUST for any massage/neuro muscular therapist,chiropractor, M.D. and any who has fibromyalgia or chronic myofascial pain syndrome. Very, very resourceful. Don't even bother with checking this one out of your libaray because you will want it forever! :-)
