5.0 out of 5 stars Buy these charts!, September 2, 2006

This review is from: Trigger Points of Pain: Wall Charts (Set of 2) (Poster)

These charts have the original trigger point drawings by Barbara Cummings from Travell and Simon's Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction. Most of the muscles from the original 2 volume set are included. The other popular full color trigger point charts, most often seen in massage offices, are widely advertised as listing "every trigger point in human anatomy". Not true! They don't even list all of the TrP's on the Travell charts much less the original texts!

I use these charts everyday in my massage therapy practice. It is so helpful to be able to look up and compare pain patterns, be reminded of the number of muscles referring to an area, or simply to confirm the location of a specific TrP. No one can remember all of these pain patterns and locations.

Currently this is the cheapest price I've seen for these charts anywhere. Buy them! Your clients and patients will thank you.

I couldn't tell from the picture of the product what it was going to look like. The charts are much larger/different than expected. The size is 38" wide by 32 high.
