Travell and Simons' Trigger Point Flip Charts 1st Edition, Janet Travell



Volumes 1 and 2 of Drs. Travell and Simons' Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual have been hailed as the definitive references on myofascial pain and locating trigger points. Now all the upper and lower extremity pain patterns and their corresponding trigger points are clearly illustrated on convenient flip charts, ideal for patient education.

The trigger point spiral bound charts have the same diagrams of trigger points and referred pain patterns as the Travell & Simons 2 volume set, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual -- Volumes 1 and 2. They are grouped by major body sections for quick review and have references to the more detailed information in the manuals for ease in looking up additional information. They can be set up in an examination/treatment room to use for explanations to a client or for quick reference by the practioner. No need to fumble through pages of the manuals to find trigger points or referred pain locations, just turn to the chart page for the specific section of the body that the pain is located in and there is the necessary information. Because of their portability these are a great reference for therapists who travel off sight or instructors teaching in assorted locations. An excellent compliment to the 2 volume set.

The charts are extremely well done. They have a collapsible tripod base for easy reference as you work your trigger points. Although the price seemed a little steep, it was worth every penny. The charts are somewhat waterproofed, seemingly covered with a thin plastic coating-able to withstand splashes and be wiped clean...not able to withstand being soaked in water. I highly recommend them. They should not, however, be used as an alternative to a professional massage therapist or chiropractor.
