Introduction to Richard Finn,
C.M.T.P.T.
In this "Myofascial Pain" section of drlowe.com,
trigger point myotherapist Richard Finn will be publishing short articles
on trigger point myotherapy and related subjects.
I have known Mr. Richard Finn
for many years. He and I became friends when he was President of the
National Association of Trigger Point Myotherapists. He was responsible for my speaking at an annual convention of trigger
point myotherapists in Denver, and for my being give an honorary
life-time membership in the organization. This membership has meant a lot to
me through the years, all the more because I respect trigger point
myotherapists for their extraordinary clinical skills in freeing patients from myofascial trigger point pain. Their doing so depends on more than
palpating for trigger points and inactivating them. These therapists also highly
skilled in identifying factors that perpetuate patients'
myofascial trigger point pain. And they're skilled at eliminating or
controlling the factors so that they effectively free their patients from pain. Since the
majority of body pains are myofascial in origin, and most of the pains
arise from trigger points, trigger point myotherapists are perfectly
prepared to rapidly provide their patients relief. Serving as the teacher
of many myofascial trigger point therapists, and being extensively
familiar with the relevant scientific studies, Richard Finn is a
world-class authority on trigger point myotherapy. His writings have
appeared the
Journal
of Myofascial Therapy and the
Clinical
Bulletin of Myofascial Therapy.
You can learn more about Richard a the website for The
Academy for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy.
