Presenting a clinical reference manual for the evaluation and treatment of muscle pain, this informative resource contains detailed illustrations of pain patterns and trigger-point locations. Myofascial pain syndromes have emerged as one of the fastest growing challenges that healthcare practitioners, including physicians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and physical, occupational, and massage therapists, encounter in their patients. In their book "Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain," Donna and Steven Finando have meticulously organized a wealth of information on treating myofascial pain, transforming it into an easily accessible "user's manual" for healthcare professionals. The authors delve into a wide array of pain patterns and offer evaluation and palpation techniques to alleviate pain by targeting trigger points in the most clinically significant muscles of the body. This comprehensive yet user-friendly reference guide to muscle pain treatment commences with chapters exploring the concept of Qi and its relation to myology, specific trigger point identification and activation, and skill-building techniques for palpation. Subsequent sections provide detailed insights on each muscle, equipping clinicians with the ability to swiftly and accurately locate individual pain points and areas of compensation. Additionally, a visual index facilitates easy identification of the muscles that may be implicated. "Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain" equips both sufferers and professionals involved in the management of myofascial disorders with invaluable and essential information.
