The Concise Book of Trigger Points
The Concise Book of Trigger Points. By: Simeon Niel-Asher.
This new edition of the bestselling The Concise Book of Trigger Points explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points - tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibres and connective tissues. Understanding and treating these points can lead to rapid, effective, and lasting pain relief. A complete and compact reference guide, it is designed for the student and practitioner of massage/bodywork, physical therapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy, sports therapy, and any other health related field.
The first three chapters provide a sound background to the physiology of trigger points and the general methods of treatment. The following six chapters are organised by muscle groups; each two page spread features detailed colour illustrations of each major skeletal muscle and referred pain patterns, together with information on each muscles origin, insertion, action and function. The physiological implications of the triggers points in each muscle are discussed, along with treatment techniques. This edition contains updated text and an in-depth self help section addressing common pain complaints, including headache, neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain, and TMJ syndrome.
