520    "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.The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, Third Edition, 
       has made a huge impact among health professionals and the 
       public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field 
       of pain relief. This edition includes a new chapter by the
       now deceased author, Clair Davies' daughter, Amber Davies,
       who is passionate about continuing her father's legacy. 
       The new edition also includes postural assessments and 
       muscle tests, an illustrated index of symptoms, and 
       clinical technique drawings and descriptions to assist 
       both practitioners and regular readers in assessing and 
       treating trigger points.If you have ever suffered from, or
       have treated someone who suffers from myofascial trigger 
       point pain, this is a must-have book"--|cProvided by
