Trigger point therapy for myofascial pain : the practice of informed touch

"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 present evaluation and palpation techniques for reducing trigger points - and thereby alleviating pain - in the most clinically significant musculature of the body."--Jacket
