Conditions that commonly occur in the general population, such as headaches and back pain, are explored for all of the muscle groups, including the muscles of the: Face, head, and neck Trunk and spine Shoulder and arm Forearm and hand Hip and thigh Leg and foot Written in clear, accessible language, this go-to guide offers a wealth of knowledge to the lay reader, the student, or the practitioner. Review: Great book but not really pocket sized! - I have the larger book and this “pocket” version. Great book full of the same info as the big book but I wouldn’t really say it is pocket sized as it is just a little smaller than A5 and doesn’t fit in my pockets but is easier to take with me than the bigger book!!! Review: Trigger Points for lay people - The book is well written and easy to understand for those without a medical background. It has made understanding muscles and pain much easier. The location of trigger points is made very clear and easy to locate problem ares. It has also made talking to therapist much more concise because you are able to speak their jargon to explain where your pain is and locate the area yourself. It has made self massage so much more beneficial. I am able to locate my pain area and name it as well! Great book! I wish I had had it before treatment. We could have much faster progress in therapy by being on same page with therapist. If you want to know the source of your pain and be able to have a cogent conversation with your doctor and or therapist this is the book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #136,359 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #120 in Physiology #145 in Anatomy #1,432 in Encyclopaedias & Reference Works (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 49 Reviews | ## Images ![The Pocket Atlas of Trigger Points: A User-Friendly Guide to Muscle Anatomy, Pain Patterns, and the Myofascial Network for Students, Practitioners, and Patients - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mt5I1x8aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book but not really pocket sized! *by M***E on 25 May 2025* I have the larger book and this “pocket” version.
