This book was written specifically for Neuromuscular Thearpists but has a much wider audience. All too often, myofascial trigger points are taught, if at all, as single entities or clusters that occur in sports medicine. Most chronic pain has a myofascial component that often remains undiagnosed. Now that myofascial trigger points are becoming recognized as a key factor in the maintainance of fibromyalgia central sensitization, I hope that many professionals who are unfamiliar with myofascial trigger points will use this manual to learn about this common cause of musculoskeletal pain. The basic physiology of fascia and trigger point theory are covered, as well as patient assessment and treatment. There are clear diagrams of trigger points with specific information about each of them. For those doctors and nurse practitioners who have found the Trigger Point Manuals daunting, this reasonably priced manual can become your introduction to myofascial medicine. I highly recommend it.
