Extended Information

Trigger point therapy is one of the most intriguing and fastest-growing bodywork styles in the world.

Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits.

The technique involves applying short, repeated massage strokes to trigger points, tiny contraction knots in muscle tissue where restricted circulation and lack of oxygen cause referred pain. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe.

Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. This dynamic technique has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief.

The book has sold over 145,000 copies since the release of the first edition in 2001.
