 - Very HelpfulThis 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. Rating:  - A little disappointedThis 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. Rating: - Great book!We briefly studied myofacial and trigger point therapy in massage therapy school, and this was a great accompanyment to that portion of our curriculum. I will be keeping this book when I begin my practise. Rating: - Great book, great valueThis book has been very helpful to me. I'm in massage school now. It's easy to use, easy to reference and is a great value for the price. Rating: - Trigger Point TherapyIf 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.
