Myofascial pain syndromes are among the fastest growing problems the physicians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and physical, occupational, and massage therapists encounter in their patients. In Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain Donna and Steven Finando have organized vast amounts of information on treating muscle pain into an accessible and comprehensive clinical reference manual for healthcare practitioners. They examine a wide range of pain patterns – and thereby alleviating pain – in the most clinically significant musculature of the body.

This revised and fully expanded edition of Informed Touch begins with chapters on the concept of qi and its relationship to mycology, the reasons for trigger point development, and palpatory skill-building techniques. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on individual muscles to teach clinicians to locate quickly and accurately specific points and pain patterns of compensation. In addition to anatomical diagrams of trigger points and pain patterns, each muscle discussion includes illustration showing self-help stretching techniques for home care. A visual index summarizes pain patterns and the muscles that may be involved. Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain is an invaluable resource for any professional involved with myofascial disorders.
