Critics Review
“The hallmark of this book is the ‘Gallery’ which contains detailed discussions of selected muscles
“The hallmark of this book is the ‘Gallery’ which contains detailed discussions of selected muscles throughout the body. The reader will find detailed medical information about the function of each muscle complete with medical illustrations of the highest quality. … [This book] not only serves as a textbook and valuable reference, but also an eye-opener for those who have struggled with chronic pain and other symptoms that have until now eluded diagnosis and effective treatment!” —Fibromyalgia Frontiers“The book is written in a way that is approachable to patients and those who do not have a background in health care. Detailed illustrations help to facilitate a deeper understanding of complex patterns of pain referral and also demonstrate location of muscles. …. This text is a great resource for patients with trigger points, fibromyalgia, and chronic myofascial pain, and can be a great tool for making the patient an active participant in their care. In addition to being a resource for patients, this book would be a great addition to any student’s or clinician’s library and would go a long way toward facilitating more successful outcomes with patients in this population.” —Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
