The Book
This blog is closely associated with a popular e-book about muscle knots (a.k.a. trigger points or myofascial pain syndrome). Customers often subscribe to this blog as a way of keeping in touch with the bleeding edge of the field. Over time, updates published here are rolled into the book:
Save Yourself from Trigger Points
and Myofascial Pain Syndrome!
Click to read the first few free sections.
This is the most detailed and scientifically current guide to muscle pain available. It is not just a web page: it’s a book for both patients and professionals. What are the controversies and myths about muscle pain? What works, what doesn’t, and why? This guide offers troubleshooting ideas for even the toughest cases — much more than the popular Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, which is simplistic and out of date. Interesting and entertaining, constantly updated and upgraded, it’s ideal for patients who have failed to get relief from basic tactics, or for beginners who want to get off on the right foot.
