Description
The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-treatment Guide for Pain Relief
Discover a fast-growing and effective pain therapy technique used by medical doctors, chiropractors, and massage therapists to relieve patients' muscle and joint pain. This book addresses myofascial trigger points, tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked, causing referred pain.
With this workbook, you'll learn how massage of the trigger point can increase circulation and oxygenation, often producing instant relief. The Third Edition includes a new chapter by Clair Davies' daughter, Amber Davies, as well as postural assessments, muscle tests, an illustrated index of symptoms, and clinical technique drawings and descriptions to assist in assessing and treating trigger points.
