Beschreibung

A simple, go-to guide to trigger point therapy for physical therapists, bodyworkers, and patients with chronic pain.

This pocket-sized guide covers practical information about trigger points-the painful knots that can form in tissues such as muscles and fascia-central to addressing chronic pain with massage, bodywork, and physical therapy. Full-color illustrations and charts help practitioners, students, and patients identify trigger points and address referred pain patterns with ease.

The first chapter introduces relevant information on fascia and myofascial meridians and provides an overview of trigger point symptoms, classification, and formation. Subsequent chapters are organized by muscle group and feature concise-yet comprehensive-sections on each of the main skeletal muscles and their trigger points. Conditions that commonly occur in the general population, such as headaches and back pain, are explored for these muscle groups:

Face, head, and neck
Trunk and spine
Shoulder and arm
Forearm and hand
Hip and thigh
Leg and foot

Written in clear, accessible language, this go-to guide offers a wealth of knowledge to the lay reader, the student, or the practitioner.
