Good trigger point atlas/text suggestion?

[Vengeance of God]

I am looking for a really good/thorough atlas/text specifically on trigger points. Ideally, I would like it with a lot of easy to follow illustrations and to approach the issues from a physiological rather than energy/spiritual viewpoint.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

The Travell and Simons Trigger Point Manuals are the seminal texts on this. There are two volumes, one upper body and one lower body, and they usually are about $180 or so. Make sure you get the second edition, as there is some updated info in that one.


A more streamlined book is The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Claire Davies. It has a lot of the same info, but is not as technical.

I like to recommend Informed Touch by Finando & Finando. What they did was streamline Travell & Simons. I use mine whenever I get stuck.

I second Informed Touch - quick & easy reference.

Yep. I agree totally. I have the Claire Davies, and plan to purchase the Travell and Simons as finances allow. There is also a great set of charts to accompany the T & S that go for around $80, I believe.
