The new edition of the bestselling The Concise Book of Trigger Points includes a self-help section, and up-to-date research on trigger points. The book has been written for the student and early practitioner of massage/bodywork, physical therapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy, sports therapy, and any other health-related field.
Containing full-colour illustrations, it is a compact reference guide, and explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points – tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibres and connective tissues. The first four chapters provide a sound background to the physiology of trigger points, and the general methods of treatment.
The following six chapters are organized by muscle groups; each two-page spread features detailed colour illustrations of each major skeletal muscle, and straightforward text identifying each muscle’s origin, insertion, action, and function. In addition, the author discusses the physiological implications of the trigger points in each muscle, and techniques for treatment. A useful self-help section summarizes the best course of action for 10 common complaints.
Simeon Niel-Asher B. Phil., B.Sc., (Ost.),, who qualified as an osteopath in 1992, uses trigger point therapy in his every day work. He is the inventor of the Niel-Asher technique(TM) for treating frozen shoulder syndrome and was named by the Evening Standard newspaper as one of the Top 10 osteopaths in London. He is involved in treating, research, writing, and teaching throughout Europe, the Middle East and the USA.
"Probably the clearest, most concise and comprehensive presentation of the trigger point picture I have ever read. Eminently practical and clinically useful.”
Dr. Richard Bachrach, D.O., F.A.O.A.S.M, a US doctor who has been at the forefront of trigger points use for more than 20 years.
