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.
