highly recommended

Excellent, easy to use quick reference of trigger points and referred pain.

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.

massage therapist

As a theraputic massage therapist this flip chart comes in handy. I recommend it to any one that does theraputic massage.

too bulky to carry around

On the upside: good visual tool! It has enlightened me on the location of certain trigger points of the lower extremities.
On the downside-
I have to carry it around and that chart is just to bulky for travel. It would be just as good if it were an 8x11.
I usually like visuals but this chart lacks condensed info on what you're looking at. The same directions on how to read the chart appear on each page over and over. I would have liked to see some clues and tips instead.
All in all, had I known better, I would saved my money to put toward the books because the chart is rather expensive for just the drawings.

quick reference

This flip chart is very easy to use for a quick reference when time is a factor. I keep it where it can be accessed during the day for treatment in the out-patient therapy office.

reviews: page 1, 2

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.
