This book is great- each page features a different muscle, the trigger point pattern and exercises for that muscle. It is easy to follow with pictures and it is a really great easy reference to use.
Very Handy Book

This is one of the easiest to read and most comprehensive trigger point manuals available. It covers all methods of dealing with trigger points, where they are, and the pain they produce. It's pictures are clear and the text is accessible to anyone with even the most basic of medical backgrounds. Very useful for the massage therapist or physical therapist.
Informative, especially good for newer therapists

The pictures are very helpful (the pictures in the anatomy books at school bunched all the muscles together, whereas you can actually see the individual muscles in this book). The exercises are sometimes difficult to understand, but I think it is a good resource. Also, this will sound crazy, but the book has the most wretched odor - when I have it open, people will start asking what that awful smell is. It makes it hard to read it sometimes. Probably the coating on the pages.
Advise not clear.
