Trigger point therapy is one of the fastest-growing and most effective pain therapies in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage
therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve patients? formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain, both conditions that studies have shown to be the cause
of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits.

This book addresses the problem of myofascial trigger points?tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Restricted circulation and
lack of oxygen in these points cause referred pain. Massage of the trigger is the safest, most natural, and most effective form of pain therapy. 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.
