This practical manual explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger points — those tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibers and connective tissues. Organized by muscle groups, the book emphasizes hands-on techniques for bringing immediate relief by stimulating the flow of oxygen to the trigger point. Each two-page spread features detailed colour illustrations on one side and straightforward text on the other identifying each muscle's origin, insertion, action, and function. In addition, the author discusses the physiological implications of the trigger points in each muscle, and techniques for treatment.

Simeon Niel-Asher is an osteopath who has been working primarily with trigger point therapy for the past fifteen years, having learned this craft from one the UK's most eminent practitioners.
