Painful aching areas that do not respond to local treatment often have remote 'trigger points', that refer pain to them. They are most often found in muscles, but also in fascia, periosteium, tendons, ligaments, and skin and are caused by physical and psychological stress, trauma and lack of rest. Written for the student and early practitioner of massage/bodywork, physical therapy, and physiotherapy, this compact reference guide contains full-colour illustrations, and explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points.
