Review Quotes
"Richard Finn has a very unique way of simplifying complex concepts and presenting them in a friendly manner to his audience. As a researcher and book author of the Myofascial Trigger Point concept, I wholeheartedly endorse Trigger Point Therapy Made Simple!" --Dimitrios Kostopoulos, DPT, MD, PhD, DSc, ECS
"Richard Finn's new book is lucid, clear, useful and readable at three levels. The lay trigger point sufferer can learn in easy terms to identify the pain source and treat it with success in a short period of time, with no side effects. The novice trigger point therapist will find a wealth of information, conveyed in accurate, clear, and simple terms--and can improve swiftly one's ability to diagnose and treat. The advanced therapist will find a great source of clinical information. I highly recommend this book to all interested parties. It is a classic." --Gabriel E.
