Lippincott Williams Wilkins | 1999 | ISBN: 0683307711 | 1664 pages | File type: PDF | 82,4 mb
Updates the 1983 edition to mark the transition of the trigger point concept from a syndrome of unknown etiology to an experimentally established neuromuscular disease entity. Also addresses the close interaction between myofascial trigger points and articular dysfunctions at nearly every point examined. Covers pain in the head and neck; upper back, shoulder, and arms; forearms and hands; and torso. Assumes readers to be health care professionals or students who are well trained, or intend to be, in muscle anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, necessary palpitation skills, and recognizing and resolving perpetuating factors.

This definitive reference on myofascial pain features improved positioning in many of the drawings demonstrating Dr. Travell's techniques.

Non-spray and stretch treatment methods are now included, along with a completely revised theory on the nature of trigger points.

My daughter is a licensed massage therapist and was saving to purchase this set. She found them available at Amazon.com at a very reasonable price. This set is very highly recommended by massage schools nationwide, containing no-nonsense how-to's with direct instruction. My daughter used several techniques on her patients the first week she received her manuals, and provided great relief from their pain.

I guarantee if you mention this set to any LMT, they will be very familiar with it. It's a wonderful investment and will never become outdated. That is a guarantee by both schools and LMT's!

Excellent book. I have already been able to reduce/releive the pain for some of my hand therapy patients. Get more benefit from the book by taking some classes on Myofascial Trigger Point Release from a certified practitioner.

Summary: saving over $50

My daughter is going to school for Western Massage Therapy and Neuromuscular massge. She was needing to purchase the set of books. At her school, it was at least $56 more than purchasing them on line. She was able to have them with in a week for class, but saved her a lot of money to put toward other things for her studies.
