Learn how to use the most effective acupressure points to resolve your health problems. If you have ever suffered from, or have treated someone who suffers from myofascial trigger point pain, this is a must-have book. The new edition also includes postural assessments and muscle tests, an illustrated index of symptoms, and clinical technique drawings and descriptions to assist both practitioners and regular readers in assessing and treating trigger points.

The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, Third Edition, has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Massage of the trigger is the safest, most natural, and most effective form of pain therapy. Restricted circulation and lack of oxygen in these points cause referred pain.
This book addresses the problem of myofascial trigger points-tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve patients’ formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain, both conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits. Trigger point therapy is one of the fastest-growing and most effective pain therapies in the world. With this book you can turn your hands into healing tools-and start feeling good now. Acupressure complements conventional medical care, and enables you to take a vital role in becoming well and staying well.
