Beschreibung

Since its publication, The Concise Book of Trigger Points has been translated into over 20 languages. The content of this third edition has been completely updated and revamped, sharing current research, evidence, and advanced techniques for manual therapy practitioners, as well as simple self-help protocols that the layperson can do at home. Containing full-color illustrations, it is a compact reference guide that explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points-tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibers and connective tissues. So much pain can be relieved quickly and efficiently with simple trigger point therapy.

The book is designed in an easy-to-reference format to offer useful information about the trigger points relating to the main skeletal muscles, which are central to massage, bodywork, and physical therapy. The first four chapters provide a sound background, explaining the physiology of trigger points and the general methods of treatment. The following six chapters are organized by muscle group, with the information about each muscle presented in a uniform style throughout. Each two-page spread gives detailed anatomical information, referred pain patterns, key trigger point information, practitioner protocols, and self-help information and drawings.

Über den Autor

Simeon Niel-Asher, BPhil, BSc (Ost), has studied and worked with trigger points since 1990, dedicating a large part of his career to scientific research, medical trials, and exploration in the field of manual medicine. In 1992, he received his BSc (Ost) from the British School of Osteopathy and has been named one of the top 10 osteopaths in London by the Evening Standard.

He has taught courses on trigger point therapy throughout North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. His other books include Treat Your Own Frozen Shoulder, which won him the 2006 CAM award for outstanding practice, and The Pocket Atlas of Trigger Points.
