Since its publication, The Concise Book of Trigger Points has been translated into over 20 languages. The content of this third edition has been completely updated and revamped, sharing current research, evidence, and advanced techniques for manual therapy practitioners, as well as simple self-help protocols that the layperson can do at home. Containing full-color illustrations, it is a compact reference guide that explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points—tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibers and connective tissues. So much pain can be relieved quickly and efficiently with simple trigger point therapy. The book is designed in an easy-to-reference format to offer useful information about the trigger points relating to the main skeletal muscles, which are central to massage, bodywork, and physical therapy. The first four chapters provide a sound background, explaining the physiology of trigger points and the general methods of treatment. The following six chapters are organized by muscle group, with the information about each muscle presented in a uniform style throughout. Each two-page spread gives detailed anatomical information, referred pain patterns, key trigger point information, practitioner protocols, and self-help information and drawings.

Great illustrations
As a massage therapist myself who has had problems with my back and neck due to surgery I decided to buy this book to enhance my own knowledge of trigger point therapy. I am glad I did as not only has it helped me it will also help others who come to me suffering from the pain caused by trigger points. I am absolutely delighted with this most helpful book and the illustrations are superb. I think this is a great book for all massage and bodywork therapists who want to enhance their treatments and really help their clients. 10 out of 10 to the author

Helpful for a beginner
Great help in understanding the muscular layout of the body and where pain can accumulate or be referred. More of an accompanying book then a manual. Excellent aide alongside other therapeutic books such as massage.

Enabling you to put your finger on it...
This really is the best book on the subject of trigger point therapy. Clear, concise diagrams of pain referral patterns makes locating the culprit muscle and dealing with the problem so much easier. The authour also details other possible causes of pain and suggests consideration of alternative therapy avenues to try. This is simply a 'must have' book for any serious remedial or sports massage therapist.

Ideal to inform and contribute to self-help
Love this book. The format is excellent for the non-specialist. I have ongoing back pain issues due to scoliosis, accidental damage and now the inevitable lack of spring chicken..I exercise by cycling and can suffer intense pain at the opposite end from where one might expect it. I was able to swiftly scan the book for the relevant section and identify the offending muscle group. This, combined with the self-help advice in the book and conversations with my osteopath, removes some of the fear of intense pain. Knowledge is power. It still hurts but I understand the enemy more.

I can see why the lecturer on my advanced massage course recommended Neil-Asher as a text book
This book is as it says 'concise'. The 'text' part of the book focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the 'why and where' of trigger point formation and how to find and treat them with finger palpitations. The 'technique' part of the book covers the muscles of the body giving illustrations of position, action, etc., where pain occurs, where trigger point is, techniques to release it and suggestions for self-help between therapist sessions. I can see why the lecturer on my advanced massage course recommended Neil-Asher as a text book; though as a self-help manual the anatomy and physiology is in great depth, but the majority of the book would be useful.

Discover true relief from pain!
As a massage therapist this book has assisted me in giving therapy to my clients, and has given not only pain relief, but Progressive pain relief. I've had clients that have been in pain for 20 years tell me if they feel 80% better after the first treatments of their trigger points. What a blessing!
