Dad buckled down and secured a contract with a national publisher New Harbinger Publications. The first edition of The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook; Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief was released in 2001. Dad was the primary author and illustrator, accompanied by me as his assistant, apprentice, first editor, photographer, sounding board, and all around side-kick. Surviving author and trigger point pioneer, Dr. David Simons, endorsed our book and wrote the Foreword. For two and a half years Dad and I traveled together throughout the United States teaching weekend continuing education seminars to massage therapists. We lit a fire. There are now a dozen of books on the subject and a steady stream of new self-treatment tools, DVDs and websites. Our book remains a #1 bestseller because it is an easy book to read and understand while including all of the essential information on trigger points and referred pain. Read a few of the current reviews of the third edition on Amazon.

I have had a massage therapy practice in Louisville, Kentucky since 2001 specializing in treating all types of chronic and acute pain. The techniques I use most fall under the categories of myofascial trigger point therapy, neuromuscular therapy and orthopedic massage therapy.

This is the only self-help book designed to help the layperson to treat themselves for painful trigger points with massage. Medical doctors, chiropractors, and alternative health practitioners are all beginning to use this technique to relieve the pain of individuals suffering from undiagnosable soft tissue pain. The technique involves applying a gentle, sweeping stroke to trigger points, places in muscle or connective tissue where a lack of oxygen causes swelling. These points are easily located by general readers and create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. The stimulation of the point causes an increase in the oxygen level in the area and often produces instant relief.

This is the only self-help book designed to help the layperson to treat themselves for painful trigger points with massage. Trigger point therapy is one of the most intriguing and fastest-growing bodywork styles in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, and alternative health practitioners are all beginning to use this technique to relieve the pain of individuals suffering from undiagnosable soft tissue pain-a condition that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits.

The first edition of The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook has made a huge impact in the use of this dynamic technique.

Probably at least 70% of elbow, lower arm, wrist, hand and finger pain is caused by trigger points in the upper back, shoulder, arm, and hand muscles. You can probably relieve much or all of your pain with a combination of trigger point self-help, and identifying and eliminating all the perpetuating factors to the extent possible (the things that cause and keep trigger points activated).

By clicking on the pertinent muscle chapter links from the table of contents (chapters 6 through 26), your e-book reader takes you to each chapter that may harbor trigger points that are the source of your pain. You'll find illustrations of common pain referral patterns that you can compare with your symptoms, and this will help you figure out where the common trigger points causing your pain are likely located. Along with outlining the common symptoms and causes for trigger points for each muscle, there are lists of "helpful hints" for resolving trigger points. Self-help techniques are written out and accompanied by detailed photos to guide you through the techniques. An extensive Appendix on perpetuating factors that will cause trigger points to form in any of the muscles of the body will help you gain lasting relief.

This e-book is intended as a quick-reference only for the major muscles that may harbor trigger points that refer pain to the elbow, lower arm, wrist, hand, and fingers. It is not intended as a comprehensive therapy guide for other areas of the body. If you are unable to relieve all of your pain with the techniques found in this e-book, you may wish to consult one of the resources found at the end of this e-book in order to treat other pertinent muscles.

This book would not have been possible without the lifeworks of Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. David G. Simons, who worked endlessly to research trigger points, document referral patterns and other symptoms, and bring all of that information to medical practitioners and the general public. Together Doctors Travell and Simons produced a comprehensive two-volume text on the causes and treatment of trigger points, written for physicians. This text is a condensation of those volumes, written for the general public, and for practitioners who don't need the in-depth knowledge to perform trigger point injections.

Dr. Travell pioneered and researched new pain treatments, including trigger point injections. In her private practice, she began treating Senator John F. Kennedy, who at the time was using crutches due to crippling back pain and was almost unable to walk down just a few stairs. It had become important for presidential candidates to appear physically fit, because of television. Being on crutches probably would have cost President Kennedy the election. Dr. Travell became the first female White House physician, and after President Kennedy died, she stayed on to treat President Johnson. She resigned a year and a half later to return to her passions: teaching, lecturing, and writing about chronic myofascial pain. She continued to work into her nineties and died at the age of ninety-five on August 1, 1997. ff782bc1db
