A practical introduction to trigger-point self-massage

Imogene Collins’s guide introduces trigger points and trigger-point massage, with sections on using massage tools and applying pressure to areas including the piriformis, neck, spine, and back. The subject is framed as a way to explore sore spots and muscle knots associated with aching, particularly around the back and neck. The description also acknowledges that the science behind trigger points is controversial, so its claims about lasting relief should be read as the book’s presentation rather than established outcomes. Its emphasis is on self-massage methods for everyday use.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in learning about trigger-point massage and self-massage tools.
  • Readers seeking practical information on massaging the back, neck, spine, or piriformis.

Trigger points or muscle "knots" are sore spots in soft tissue that cause deep aching. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder with too many trigger points. Trps are usually described as micro-cramps, but the science is half-baked and their nature is controversial. Regardless, these sore spots are as common as pimples, often alarmingly fierce, and they seem to grow like weeds around injuries. They may be a major factor in back and neck pain, as a cause, a complication, or a bit of both.
