If you know the name of the muscle in question, you simply look inside the front cover the muscle are all listed with their coresponding page numbers next to them. The chapters are laid out in an incredibly easy to understand manner, though that’s not even the beauty of the book’s design. There are still plenty of sites that they recommend for injection, but only in a last resort situation. They even go into strong detail as to stroke, direction and stretching. What makes them interesting is that, in this, the most current edition, they have re-evaluated about 65% of the sites that before would only be considered for cortizone or saline injection and now recommend these areas be attended to by a Massage Therapist. What makes these books even more amazing is that they were written a full quarter of a century before doctors even acknowledged that myofascial pain actually exsisted. Janet Travell, MD and David Simons, MD were absolute pioneers when it came to myofascial pain and it’s treatment. Travell and Simons have esentially written "The Instruction Manual" for elliminating myofascial pain by going to it’s source! This set is an absolute BIBLE for anyone in the health care industry. ANYTIME I have a patient with a pain that I can’t immediately identify I grab my Travell’s. The first is so threadbare it’s barely usable.
