Praxisbuch Myofasziale Triggerpunkte

Everything you need to know about manual trigger point techniques: Step-by-step instructions help you carry out the treatment competently and correctly. All relevant trigger points are illustrated with informative anatomical images, along with descriptions of typical injury patterns and activation mechanisms. Detailed photos showcase the differentiated treatment techniques. For each muscle, the author addresses the following points: • Localization and radiation of the trigger points • How can trigger points be examined and treated? • What starting position should be chosen for trigger point treatment? In addition, the book provides theoretical background information on the physiology and pathophysiology of trigger points, as well as examples of self-stretching techniques for the patient. The new edition now includes a "Pain Guide" – an overview of muscles that can trigger pain in more distant regions.
