Topaz: I gave this book 3 stars cuz they made the effort to help but honesty in my opinion this book is pretty complicated not to mention redundant.
If you want a book of a layman’s hands on version, a book that is easy to understand and written with a compassionate personal point of view get, The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook (3rd Edition) by Clare Davies. I kid you not in just 30 seconds his book ended 7 months of excruciating pain that I had been having. I had no idea what was wrong. I couldn’t lift my arm to brush my hair or teeth getting dressed was torture… then my doctor uttered the words “trigger points” and proceeded to do a maneuver on each of my shoulders which fixed them both, but of course she said it probably wouldn’t last long, which it didn’t.
I had no idea what trigger points were so I googled it and it eventually the search led me to find TTPTW 3rd Edition. I had no idea there was a therapy for trigger points. The reason my pain was gone in 30 seconds was because I learned what spot I needed to press down on/massage. It’s a spot (it may be it is one of many but this one was the cause of all my pain) you wouldn’t even know is affecting...

Jeff: I’m a gym owner and a certified personal trainer. I’ve ordered 4 of these books.
I like them because you don’t have to be a trainer to know what you’re looking for. It is easy to explain to clients. I recently ordered another one for my mom.
Trigger points, if done correctly are a life saver. $5 lacrosse ball and a $13 book can change your life. I highly recommend. Especially for beginners.

jamie l adkins: I have fibromyalgia and myofascial pain. This book helps guide you to pressure points to help relieve pain . I recommend getting the “Massager Tool for Trigger Point” (also on Amazon) to going along with the book . It’s helped me a lot .

Amazon Customer: First of all, if you are local or can get around him when he travels, YOU NEED TO DO IT! Love the Four PLUS decades of knowledge and experience that he has. Also the fact that he's continually still learning and keeping up to date with the changes in things. He's always coming up with new tricks and tips based on his experience and what his patients need. Buy this book and keep an eye out for numbers two and three. :)

gemg: This is the second book I’ve read on this topic. I did think the book by Davies was more comprehensive especially about the head and jaw.
But I liked this book better for its step by step approach. The author gives a picture of where it hurts, a description of the same, what could cause the pain and what the pain could feel like. Then he gives where to treat the muscles in the spine, how to treat the nerve, how to treat the trigger points, then done gentle moves to do and other muscles to treat.
The kindle has links to all these other places in the book so you can quickly go there. Then just use the back button to return. It’s very user friendly.
