EXCELLENT CONDITION - SUPER FAST!

The book arrived nearly two weeks before the guaranteed date. The book condition listing was "Good", but it was Excellent. I had been expecting to find a previous user's notes scrawled in the margins, but it looked like I was the first one to actually open the book! The price of the book was less than half of its $100+ new price. I found that the average used price for this book was just a little less than the new price. I will put this seller at the top of my list when looking for used books. Thanks!

Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction, Vol. 1: The Trigger Point Manual, The Upper Extremities

This is Janet Travel's classic work on trigger point pain symptoms and treatment. This early edition is hard to find and is invaluable to all body workers, especially massage therapists. It helps to locate and treat the correct source of myofascial pain. It also names all of the types of disfunction that muscular trigger points can cause which are seemingly unrelated.

Definitive text on muscular related pain

This book may possibly be one of the largest milestones in pain elimination ever written. I often refer to it (or them) as the "bibles" because the buck stops here when it comes to pain! We are not talking about pain management here, we are talking about PAIN ELIMINATION! These books cover it all. From referred pain patterns, to differential diagnosis, to nutritional inadequacies, to systemic factors such as thyroid dysfunction, to perpetuating factors (what is causing your pain to continue after injury, trauma, etc.). To experience the definitive answer on muscular pain throw these two books in your shopping cart, and if you think they may be expensive, remember: "The sour taste of poor quality oulasts the sweet taste of a cheap price!" ...
