Richard Finn, C.M.T.P.T.
& The Pittsburgh School of Pain Management

Richard Finn is a certified myofascial trigger point therapist and is Director and Instructor at the Pittsburgh School of Pain Management. Mr. Finn is a foremost authority on myofascial trigger points and trigger point therapy. Those who study under Richard and his faculty receive the best training available in Travell and Simons-type trigger point therapy. We strongly recommend that therapists and doctors who want to learn myofascial trigger point techniques contact the Academy. The training includes the identification and control of perpetuating factors that can render patients treatment resistant. Training in perpetuating factors is essential if the therapist or doctor is to be highly effective in treating patients with myofascial pain syndromes. The School is the single best place we know of to acquire such training.

Trigger Point Therapist Referral Network

We often hear patients say doctors have told them there is no effective treatment for myofascial pain, and that the patients just have to learn to live with it. The doctors’ statements are patently false. Most patients with myofascial pain can overcome it, as long as they find practitioners trained and skilled at trigger point myofascial therapy.

It’s recently become much easier to find such a practitioner. A few weeks ago, we received notice of the new referral service of the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists (NAMTPT). Through the service, patients with myofascial pain and dysfunction can find therapists certified by NAMTPT.

Certified myofascial trigger point therapists are educated and trained to accurately find the source of myofascial pain and to effectively relieve it. A small percentage of practitioners in other health care professions are good at myofascial trigger point therapy. But certified myofascial trigger point therapists are the only practitioners who exist strictly to provide the public with effective myofascial trigger point therapy.

If your doctor has told you there is no effective treatment for myofascial pain, and that you’ll have to live with it, disregard the information as false. Then contact the NAMTPT referral service. They will help you find a certified therapist who can show you that in fact you don’t have to live with myofascial pain. After you experience the relief, please let your doctor know. And be sure to give him or her the contact information for the referral service. Perhaps he or she will refer others to the service so that they, too, can get relief from their myofascial pain.

Clinic Address: 49 Howard Street, Verona, NJ 07044

I am a Trigger Point Therapist practicing in Verona, NJ, a location convenient for people in Essex, Morris, Bergen, Passaic, and Middlesex counties of New Jersey. Some patients come from Princeton, Trenton, Philadelphia and other places beyond the immediate area because no therapist with proper training is close. The goal of my practice is pain relief, improved posture, freedom of movement, and helping people understand and deal with the factors in their lives that may perpetuate their pain problems. I keep up-to-date by attending Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses and medical conferences each year. You can reach me at (973) 943-6129 or joe@painpatterns.com.

------------------------------------------

This page is part of a larger website intended to educate people about trigger point bodywork and other methods of non-invasive, drug-free pain relief. Myofascial therapy was developed by physicians in the last few decades. Its primary purpose is to eliminate myofascial pain, but it also improves movement and posture.

I offer myofascial treatment and pain management services for the Rahway, Old Bridge, Woodbridge or Edison area of central NJ, though I am not immediately nearby. If you live in a town such as Dunellen, East Brunswick, Rahway or Middlesex NJ I would still be the closest certified therapist. Somerset, Springfield and Woodbridge NJ also fall into this category, as do Cranbury, Kendall Park and Old Bridge NJ, and much of the rest of New Jersey. Somewhat distant towns are mentioned because I have seen many times that people are glad to travel even several hours to get rid of pain. If you live elsewhere you may be able to find a practitioner nearby.
