Richard Finn is a certified myofascial trigger point therapist and is Director and Instructor at the Institute of Medical Careers. 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 and more advance methods. We strongly recommend the Institute and Richard and Carol Finn to those who want to enter a helping profession of extremely value to those suffering from pain and other disorders. We also strongly recommend the Institute to those who are already in healing professions, such as therapists and doctors, who want to learn myofascial trigger point methods.

Training at the Institute 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 Institute is the single best place we know of to acquire such training. It prepares students well to qualify through national certification as myofascial trigger point therapists.

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.
