Review
:
"Knowing how to touch the human body when it is in distress is the skill that links bodyworkers with physical--and oriental--medicine practitioners. Nowhere is this knowledge more developed than in the seminal work on trigger-point release of Drs. Janet Travell and David Simons. Their magnum opus now becomes eminently accessible in this clinically pragmatic manual. Informed Touch belongs in the office of every professional practicing a physical medicine of any kind."
Roberta F. Shapiro, D.O., Albert Einstein College of Medicine
: "Never before have the disciplines of myofascial pain release and meridian therapy been so beautifully and practically connected. Simply put, this book is a must for all practitioners of hands-on medicine."
Marilyn Freedman, P.T., certified childbirth educator : "Donna and Steven Finando have married some of the finest techniques that eastern and western physical medicine have to offer. Incredibly, they have done this in a single text, with excellent graphics, charts, and guidelines to specific soft-tissue work. This essential guide takes the place of many large volumes, especially when information is needed immediately. I highly recommend Informed Touch for not only the experienced practitioner, but for students as well."
Roberta F. Shapiro, D.O., Albert Einstein College of Medicine
:"Simply put, this book is a must for all practitioners of hands-on medicine."
Steven L. Rosenblatt, M.D., Ph.D., L.Ac., founder and past president of the California Acupuncture College : "This insightful book points out a new direction in medical therapeutics. It clearly delineates where the energetic field of the body intersects and animates the physical structure. By acting at this intersection, true healing can take place."
Tami Brady, TCM Reviews : ". . . in addition to those professional healing touch practitioners wanting to stretch their skills or needing a good myofascial pain reference book, that I also suggest this book to those who suffer from chronic pain and those that do any sort of physical activity that could result in muscular pain and fatigue."
Charlotte Michael Versagi, Massage Magazine, Nov-Dec 2005 : ". . . written carefully and thoughtfully, as if gently guiding the reader into an intimate understanding of what's happening in the body when a trigger point is present."
Diane Donovan, Bookwatch, April 2006 : "Any who suffer from muscle pain will find her methods specific and useful, based on her acupuncture and massage background and studies with Janet Travell, MD, a pioneer in pain management."
Book Description
• Contains detailed illustrations of pain patterns and trigger-point locations.
Myofascial pain syndromes are among the fastest growing problems that physicians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and physical, occupational, and massage therapists encounter in their patients. In Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain Donna and Steven Finando have organized vast amounts of information on treating myofascial pain into an accessible "user's 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.
This comprehensive yet easy-to-use reference guide to treatment of muscle pain begins with chapters on the concept of Qi and its relationship to myology, specific trigger point location and activation, and palpatory skill-building techniques. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on each muscle to teach clinicians to locate quickly and accurately individual points of pain and compensation. A visual index allows easy identification of the muscles that may be involved. Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain provides necessary and invaluable information for sufferers and any professional involved with myofascial disorders.

This review is from: Trigger Point Therapy For Myofascial Pain The Practice (Paperback)
As someone who deals with daily pain from myofascial trigger points, this book is invaluable. It provides an education as to the radiation of the pain and which trigger point has set it off. With the companion book, I should be able to spend less time medicating and more time enjoying life. Thank you to the authors.

Empowering!,
By J_Bean (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trigger Point Therapy For Myofascial Pain The Practice (Paperback)
This book is an incredible tool for people that struggle daily with trigger points, whether localized to one area of the body or widespread and producing chronic pain. This book will allow you to find trigger points that you may not even know you have, but that have been interfering with your function, or producing symptoms that you just wouldn't believe could come from trigger points. For those that are interested in TCM, Ms Finando also reviews the meridians and organ systems that are influenced by trigger points that lie along these pathways. I work with Chronic Pain patients and have found huge success with this book. The most wonderful thing is that these therapeutic techniques are something that you can do on your own, daily, as you need it. You can be in control of your myofascial pain, and that's empowering.
