The third edition of this bestselling title.
Now deceased, Davies specialized in trigger point massage for the treatment of pain. Mr. Davies's interest in massage began when he successfully self-treated a frozen shoulder with trigger point massage. Inspired by the experience, he began an intensive private study of trigger points and referred pain. He subsequently retired from a thriving piano service business to become a professional massage therapist.
"The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook is a welcome and timely
addition to the worlds of personal wellness, pain relief, and
self-care. The author creates a highly effective form of pain
therapy that anyone can learn. This book is a valuable contribution
to the field of self-applied therapeutic bodywork."
--Robert K. King, founder and president of the Chicago School of
Massage Therapy
"As a chiropractor for twelve years and an instructor of trigger
point therapy at the Utah College of Massage Therapy for ten years,
I found the Davies' book very accurate and complete. The graphics
and illustrations make it easy to show patients and clients ways to
improve quality of life. I believe the book will be a valuable
asset to all health care practitioners who use trigger point
therapy."
--David B. Thomson, DC, instructor at the Utah College of Massage
Therapy
"As a medical doctor who has been challenged by patients
experiencing chronic pain, including those suffering from
long-standing cases of fibromyalgia, I appreciate a safe solution
for their problem. I believe this book, revealing that trigger
point therapy may safely relieve chronic pain, should be in the
hands of every doctor."
--Terry Shepherd Friedmann, MD, author of Freedom Through
Health
"I have personally benefited from the therapeutic effects of
trigger point massage and I believe it deserves official
recognition in the medical world. I hope physicians will study
these self-treatment techniques and recommend them to their
patients."
--Rose Marie Hackett, DO, osteopathic physician and radiologist
"Properly used, the information in the Davies's book should enable
many people with myofascial trigger point disorders to participate
effectively in treating their conditions. The book should be
especially useful to those who do not have ready access to a
practitioner familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of these
common muscular problems."
--Michael D. Reynolds, MD, rheumatologist
"This is ... a well-organized, easy-to-use handbook that will
indeed help sufferers of myofascial pain learn to treat themselves
with effective self-massage techniques. The detail and clarity of
the book's format will also make it invaluable to pain physicians
who want to be able to teach their patients useful, simple
strategies to manage soft tissue pain problems."
--Joseph F. Audette, MD, instructor at Harvard Medical School and
director of Outpatient Pain Services at Spaulding Rehabilitation
Hospital in Medford, MA
"This is a useful book for anyone in chronic pain. There are few
resources like this one, which empowers the reader to understand
the problem and offers the tools to manage it. The approach to
managing pain described in this book will help many take control of
a significant part of their health and will become a valuable
lifelong reference."
