Description

A fully updated, evidence-based guide to relieving chronic pain, fascia and myofascia dysfunction, muscle tension, and trigger points--naturally and effectively.

Do you struggle with chronic pain, tension headaches, neck pain, back pain, or unexplained aches that never seem to go away? Many cases of persistent pain are caused by problems within the muscles and myofascia: the connective tissue, or fascia, that surrounds and supports your muscles throughout the body. Small, tight knots known as myofascial trigger points can develop in overworked or injured muscles, creating pain that radiates to other areas of the body.

The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, Third Edition offers a practical, step-by-step approach to identifying and treating trigger points using safe, natural self-massage and bodywork techniques that help reduce pain and restore mobility.

Widely regarded as a classic in the field of pain relief, this bestselling workbook has helped countless readers and health professionals better understand the connection between trigger points, muscle dysfunction, posture, and referred pain.
