educational resource May 25, 2008
This is a fantastic resource and basically the bible of trigger point study. It is the fisrt emerically backed study that scientifically shows the benefits of massage therapy and specifically trigger point therapy. It is a valuable two volume set to have to reference.

Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction The Trigger Point Manual February 12, 2008
When I received this book as a present for passing my medical masseuse exams, I thought I received a "how to fix it" book.
These books are much more for they cover anatomy, innervation, function, testing, reasons behind the pain, differential diagnosis, corrective actions all in addition to Triggerpoint Treatment.
The 2 volumes are a must have in your library for daily reference and/or study. The illustrations are a welcome aid to oneself or for explanatory purposes to clients.
