Annotation:
This profusely illustrated guide to self-massage is by Clair Davis, who certainly is an enthusiast. A former piano technician who turned to massage therapy after a bout of serious pain that was resolved by a therapist, Davis became enamored of a two volume text, MYOFASCIAL PAIN AND DYSFUNCTION by Travell and Simons, two medical professionals. Their books identified trigger points in the body, highly localized knots that cause referent pain. Davis saw this as groundbreaking work in a neglected field and dedicated his time to the topic. THE TRIGGER POINT THERAPY WORKBOOK, a true work of love, uses pictures and text to map out each region of the body, showing where trigger points can occur and how to apply self-massage to alleviate the situation. Along the way, Davis explains the role of muscles and their membranes in health, and how trigger points may explain a range of illnesses, including fibromyalgia.
