  • Myofacial Pain Sufferer Finally Got Her Books

    Pros: informative, great resource Cons: a bit technical I have suffered from Myofascial pain for the past 25 years. I don't need a book to tell me where the trigger points are, because I feel them all over. But sometimes it's tricky as to which muscle is the real culprit. I have wanted these books for a long time and thrilled I got them at such a good price. I'm hoping to be able to ease some of my daily pain myself. I have found that your average trigger point release trained massage therapist is NOT ABLE to release these. They have desperately tried, but never succeeded on me. I have only found success with highly qualified people that do only the myofascial release techniques, followed with bio-feedback of muscles and the mechanics and exercise. During this treatment is where I found these books. However, these facilities are extremely expensive and usually require insurance, which I don't have. If I do nothing, I can control the pain somewhat, but I ALWAYS push myself too hard. No regular massage therapist has ever given me a true release of a trigger point, but the massages do help.

  • The Trigger Point Manual

    This book is full of wonderful information on how to release & stretch tight muscle bands. It is written by Janet Travell MD, who was JFK's back therapist from the time he was a senator all the way into the white house as president. It is written more like a medical book than massage book, but if you can get past that, there is a gold mine full of good and valuable information for the massage therapist.

  • #1 Myofacial Pain & Dysfunction text. This is where it all began. Great for professionals and students.

    The best Trigger Point book by the Original Doctor who discovered this Diagnosis and treatment. Charts are excellent, stretching exercises too. Many application can be made from Acupuncture, pressure point use, and manual stretching.

    I got Piriformis Syndrome and these books provide me total insight into the neuromuscular issues involved. Very important for deciding on the right approach to solve the problem.
