This review is from: Trigger Points: Understanding Myofascial Pain and Discomfort (Spiral-bound)

It only show a cursory glance at TP and referred pain patterns. Good to show patients an overview, but not detailed enough to really help everyone.

As the office manager for a chiropractic clinic, I know how often the Doc references this book to demonstrate trigger points to patients. It has also proven to be an invaluable resource in court, as Doc is often called for expert medical testimony. This book is very clear and easy for the layperson to understand. I highly recommend!
