14.99 €
A simple and practical guide to treating chronic pain with trigger point therapy for physical therapists, bodyworkers, and patients.
This convenient, pocket-sized reference book provides helpful information on trigger points—painful knots that form in muscle and fascial tissue and require special attention when treating acute and chronic pain syndromes through massage, bodywork, and physical therapy. Full-color illustrations and tables help practitioners and patients easily identify trigger points and their associated referred pain zones.
The first chapter provides basic information on fascia and myofascial meridians, as well as an overview of trigger point symptoms, their classification, and the processes by which they develop. Subsequent chapters are organized by body part and muscle group, providing concise yet essential information on the major skeletal muscles and their trigger points. Common problems such as headaches and back pain are addressed in the context of all muscle groups, including those of:
- face, head, and neck;
- trunk and spine;
- shoulder girdle and arms;
- forearms and hands;
- pelvis and hips;
- legs and feet.
This clearly written guide is an essential and convenient resource for beginners, practitioners, and anyone interested.
