Editorial Reviews for Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain: The Practice of Informed Touch
|
A clinical reference manual for the evaluation and treatment of muscle pain
• Contains detailed illustrations of pain patterns and trigger-point locations
• 15,000 copies sold in first hardcover edition
Myofascial pain syndromes are among the fastest growing problems that physicians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and physical, occupational, and massage therapists encounter in their patients. In Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain Donna and Steven Finando have organized vast amounts of information on treating myofascial pain into an accessible "user's manual" for healthcare practitioners. They examine a wide range of pain patterns and present evaluation and palpation techniques for reducing trigger points--and thereby alleviating pain--in the most clinically significant musculature of the body.
This comprehensive yet easy-to-use reference guide to treatment of muscle pain begins with chapters on the concept of Qi and its relationship to myology, specific trigger point location and activation, and palpatory skill-building techniques. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on each muscle to teach clinicians to locate quickly and accurately individual points of pain and compensation. A visual index allows easy identification of the muscles that may be involved. Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain provides necessary and invaluable information for sufferers and any professional involved with myofascial disorders.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: This book is very helpful to cross-reference with school manuals on trigger points. And the way that it demonstrates where the pain would be felt and how to alleviate it is very easy to follow. I would recommend this book.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: A little disappointed
Comment: This book is a wealth of information on pain referral patterns for any particular muscle, so in that regard I find it very valuable. However it does not give exact information on how to massage trigger points but focuses almost exclusively on how to stretch to relieve targetted muscular pain as well as strengthening exercises but nothing on how to massage these particular trigger points to help break up the spasm. The pictures are grouped regionally so as to find the affected muscle quickly but since the title said Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain: The Practice of Informed Touch I kinda expected more of the informed touch aspect.

Summary: Great book!

Summary: Trigger Point Therapy
Comment: If you have knots in your muscles then this is the book for you! It will show you where the triggeer points are by muscles groups and explain in detail how to perform the pressure and stretch. Very good teaching tool for beginners who know little about muscles.
