5) 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.

4) 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.

3) Advise not clear.
The book is beautifully represented and as it says "concise" The advise to the client is not as clear as I would have liked it to be

1) It's just OK
There is nothing new in this book and not much information either.
There is,however,something very disturbing.When I browsed through the pages
I found two recomendations for excercises (with pictures)for strenghtening the rotator cuff muscles.They are upright rows and behind the neck pull downs. These are the two best excercises
that anyone could do to ruin the shoulders.Both of them are big NO!NO!
The upright row keeps the upper arms internally rotated and because of that it puts tremendous (and unnecessary) stress on the very small rotator cuff muscles.The behind the neck pull down keeps the shoulders in a very compromised position.Most of us lack the flexibility in the shoulders to do this excercise safely.Today even the glossy bodubuilding magazines (which are loded with bad advice and misinformation)do not recommed them any more.So,in conclusion,either the author did not check the pictures or has no idea about safe excercises and rotator cuff rehab.
