This practical manual explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points - those tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibers and connective tissues. Organized by muscle groups, the book emphasizes hands-on techniques for bringing immediate relief by stimulating the flow of oxygen to the trigger point. Each two-page spread features detailed color illustrations on one side and straightforward text on the other identifying each muscle's origin, insertion, action, and function. In addition, the author discusses the physiological implications of the trigger points in each muscle, and techniques for treatment.

This book on bodywork for spine and back problems is aimed at alternative somatic practitioners and presents information that is normally the domain of osteopaths and chiropractors. It will give all somatic healers the techniques they need to manipulate the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. This method utilises the intuitive sense of the somatic body-worker combined with the technique of Rolfing to provide the most effective and safest treatment available.
