Relief for your patients with musculoskeletal pain... This unique guide takes an in-depth look at trigger point therapy. Divided into two sections - Functional Muscle Chains and Trigger Points and Their Treatment - this book combines detailed theory with tried and practical techniques. The text covers the basics of functional muscle chains and the origin of myofascial pain arising from the musculoskeletal system, for example, due to poor posture. The reader will learn how various stretching exercises augment the myofascial therapy methods.
