Product Description
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 editionMyofascial 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. |

Trigger Point Therapy for Myfascial Pain by little fish (North Fremantle West Australia)  5 Stars
September 15, 2009
This book was recomended by my massage lecturer at the Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine and the copy in the clinic at the college is always being refered to in classes as well as in the clinic. My copy was by my side for referal while studying for exams and it still sits on my desk in readiness to show my clients and for me to refresh my knowledge.
It is a great book and will always be one of the tools of my trade.
I highly recomend it.

Book targeted to therapist but providing tools for everyone. by C. DeGetmon (Earth) 5 Stars
July 15, 2009
As a massage professional working in the field, I found this book to be a valuable asset and tool to enhance my professional competence. The book is comprehensive in scope and provides detailed point locations that are effective in releasing pain or dysfunction in clients. It also gives some good exercises one can engage for personal relief of pain. I think the book is both valuable for therapists or laymen or woman seeking deeper knowledge of their bodies and how to work with release techniques for myofascial dysfunction.

As a working massage therapist this book is an excellent reference by G. Dugay (Western Massachussetts)  4 Stars
June 14, 2009
So I now own 3 books on trigger point therapy. This one (TPTMP), Donna's "Triggerpoint Self-Care Manual: for pain-free movement" and "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief" (TPTW) by Claire Davies.
If you are looking for a self-care book to work with then definately go with Claire's.
If you are a therapist or if you really want to learn the specific and targeted stretching excercises that complement your trigger point work then consider getting TPTMT as well as TPTW.
Donna's "Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain" (TPTMP) provides more detailed info than Claire's book including: Stretches to release trigger points, relationship to chinese meridians, several excellent introductory chapters that describe pain, trigger points and treatment thereof very well. However Claire's book is organized so much better that I would say that I prefer it to Donna's TPTMP...though I do use TPTMP to study the stretches because that is i feel an essential aspect of releasing pain. Claire's book begins each section with a list of possible symptoms in the body region in question coupled with the corresponding potential trigger points. Whereas donna's book just plods thru muscle by muscle ... though there is a symptom index at the back of the book. However, given that by definition, if you are opening one of these books it is because you (or a client) is experiencing a specific symptom, why would you not want a reference book organized by symptom? Seems like a no brainer to me. Not sure what Donna was thinking? And for that matter not sure why Claire did not include stretches in her book?
Hope this helps
