Here is where you will learn all about trigger points and how to manage and eliminate them. There will be reference materials and links to explore and in the coming months the initial DVD in our “Concept of Trigger point Therapy” DVD series will be available here. This ground breaking DVD series featuring Dr. Andrew Vertson, formerly of Kerlin-Jobe, and other prominent trigger point experts, is intended for the medical professional and trainer as well as the person who wants to learn more about staying physically fit and pain free. The viewer will learn how to identify triggerpoints, what body functions they affect and how to release them to regain function and strength---all in clear, concise, easy-to-follow video instruction.

At Pro-Relief, we advocate the extensive body of research Drs. Janet Travell and David Simons reported in their “Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction, The Trigger Point Manual” reference manual. This two volume “encyclopedia” on muscle pain, dysfunction and trigger points provides a medical foundation of clinical research to help us understand the role our muscles play in our total body health. These medical texts reveal clear evidence of how trigger points most often are the root of what appear to be bigger and more serious medical problems. When triggerpoints are ignored by Doctors in the diagnosis of a medical problem, that’s when the fun begins. Unfortunately, more often then not, this misdiagnosis leads to a multitude of ineffective treatment including unnecessary surgery and prescription medications that can mask the pain but leave behind side-effects waiting to greet you with new problems later in life
