Thank you Larry!  I have another book coming out on the entire body in October 2011, but I've had a CD ROM version out since 2004.  See triggerpointrelief.com for more info.

Good luck...I find Trigger Point Therapy to be an amazing treatment modality for most any soft tissue issue.

 

 

Well, nothing in this world beats Travell and Simons books on Myofascial Pain and Dysfunciton. But, written from a Dr. prospective with dry needling. I had a class on it in school and know the basics of it all. So taking what I learned in class it can be applied instead of dry needling to everything in the book. Actually I've seen some of my schools text books on sale maybe on amazon or something like that. If you could find one of those that would be a simple basic book and they were rather cheap. I went to Denver School of Massage Therapy, under the UCMT, Steiner Education Group family of schools. I looked and it said there was none available now on Amazon. But, I know I've seen them on sale before somewhere for like $10-15 so you might be able to google it or go to different used book internet sites and find one.

BTW, I've heard the new edition of Travell and Simons is coming out soon, so some might be getting rid of the old to buy the updated version, so the price might be going down.
