Laura Kruse, LMT, NCTMB
This text is what every massage therapist needs in his or her library. Easy to read and informative text! A fantastic review of muscular function, trigger point theory and healing. This course has been an inspiration to me and helps me to believe I can help myself and my clients as a massage therapist until I choose to retire, rather than forced to retire from my own aches and pains. This is one of the best courses of study I have pursued in my massage continuing education. (I've been at it for 12 years!)
Ellen Eng, RN, Massage Therapist, Carson City, NV
This class gave me skills that I immediately began using on myself. This practice gave me instant feedback, enhanced my learning and brought welcome relief to my own problem areas. I am already using techniques in my massage practice as well. Overall I loved the practicality and ease in learning of this course.

This is the most useful CE course ever! The textbook does a wonderful job clearly presenting the information in an easy to follow format incorporating multiple learning styles. It suggests numerous approaches for releasing TPs so both beginners, like my 14 y.o. daughter and professionals alike can obtain immediate results. This should be a must read for everyone. Thank you for offering a great course at an affordable price!
Janet Ruckrigl, LMT, NCTMB
I had some exposure on Trigger Points and wanted to gain as much knowledge as possible to help clients with various problems. I read the majority of the text book and will use it as a reference, since there is so much excellent information. I also intend to learn more on this topic! Thank you for offering it as a continuing education course!
Rebecca Taylor, LMT, NCTMB
I really enjoyed the book. Clair Davies made the material interesting with stories from his personal life and stories from others with trigger point issues. It is pretty inspirational that he was able to figure out Travell and Simons book and put it into concepts for the lay person and for the professional massage therapist. Thanks!
