A trigger point is simply a tiny bundle of fibers inside a muscle that is in a state of severe contraction, resembling something like a knot. Such a small knot can both cause incessant pain and exist imperceptibly, without causing pain at all, if not pressed. Usually, though, the trigger point quietly conveys the pain elsewhere. This book focuses on the therapy of trigger points responsible for the development of various pain syndromes in the neck and shoulders. Massages and self-massages, as well as methods for finding true sources of pain, make the publication indispensable for both movement specialists and ordinary people.
