Myofascial Pain & Dysfunction

The BEST reference for muscle pain!

The Trigger Point Manual

by Dr. Janet Travell & Dr. David Simons

This 1664-page Manual is known as “the red bible” by massage therapists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, and just about anyone that works on the body to address pain.

For trainers and coaches it is a tremendously valuable resource for looking up examples of dysfunctional biomechanic issues caused by muscular dysfunctions. While much of the treatment side in the book is intended for the therapist (and should NOT be done by an unlicensed trainer or coach), the education of knowing which muscle or muscles may be causing the movement dysfunctions in the workouts will empower the coach to make more appropriate warm-up, stretching, and SMR recommendations.
