Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain: The Practice of Informed Touch

Description

A clinical reference manual for the evaluation and treatment of muscle pain •
Contains detailed illustrations of pain patterns and trigger-point locations
Myofascial 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. Read more
