5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, easy to use quick reference of trigger points and referred pain., August 5, 2005

By	Linda Keene (Fort Myers, FL., USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The trigger point spiral bound charts have the same diagrams of trigger points and referred pain patterns as the Travell & Simons 2 volume set, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual -- Volumes 1 and 2. They are grouped by major body sections for quick review and have references to the more detailed information in the manuals for ease in looking up additional information. They can be set up in an examination/treatment room to use for explanations to a client or for quick reference by the practioner. No need to fumble through pages of the manuals to find trigger points or referred pain locations, just turn to the chart page for the specific section of the body that the pain is located in and there is the necessary information. Because of their portability these are a great reference for therapists who travel off sight or instructors teaching in assorted locations. An excellent compliment to the 2 volume set.

3.0 out of 5 stars too bulky to carry around, June 9, 2008

By	S. Christensen "MT" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On the upside: good visual tool! It has enlightened me on the location of certain trigger points of the lower extremities.
On the downside-
I have to carry it around and that chart is just to bulky for travel. It would be just as good if it were an 8x11.
I usually like visuals but this chart lacks condensed info on what you're looking at. The same directions on how to read the chart appear on each page over and over. I would have liked to see some clues and tips instead.
All in all, had I known better, I would saved my money to put toward the books because the chart is rather expensive for just the drawings.
