Science of Strength Training: Understand the Anatomy and Physiology to Transform Your Body
Anyone who tells you trigger points aren't real has not read ALL of the current science, had competent trigger point therapy or recovered from chronic myofascial pain syndrome. There is much yet to learn about muscle pain. No one discipline has all of the answers. So let's give up the turf wars and figure out how to learn from each other so we can help our fellow human beings.
There really isn't much to say about this book except Dommerholt and Huijbregts have collaborated to help us all evolve our knowledge of all things trigger points. Over the last 10-15 years there has been quite of bit of updating of this info and this book will help anyone stay current. Personally, it renewed my passion for trigger point work and has keyed me into myofascial trigger points being a big part of my physical medicine work.
