| Over one million Canadians suffer from fibromyalgia and about 150,000 have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), both debilitating conditions. Based on a landmark five-year study by a leading researcher on the subject, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome examines the similarities and frequent concurrence of fibromyalgia and CFS and presents a groundbreaking new direction in their treatment. Identified for the first time is a "chronic fatigue lifestyle" that both contributes to and aggravates these disorders.
Sufferers of both fibromyalgia and CFS will benefit from a seven-step program for making lifestyle changes to break the cycle of stress and exhaustion that aggravate these conditions. The program introduces straightforward techniques for relaxation, improving sleep patterns, anger control, time management, reducing guilt and worry, easing pain and fatigue, and finally, finding and maintaining personal support.
This well-organized, evidence-based program of lifestyle improvement, cognitive change and stress reduction is a revolutionary advance in the treatment of fibromyalgia and CFS.

| A clinical reference manual for the evaluation and treatment of muscle pain- Contains detailed illustrations of pain patterns and trigger-point locations- 15,000 copies sold in first hardcover editionMyofascial pain syndromes are among the fastest growing problems that physicians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and physical, occupational, and massage therapists encounter in their patients. In Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain Donna and Steven Finando have organized vast amounts of information on treating myofascial pain into an accessible " user's manual" for healthcare practitioners. They examine a wide range of pain patterns and present evaluation and palpation techniques for reducing trigger points--and thereby alleviating pain--in the most clinically significant musculature of the body. This comprehensive yet easy-to-use reference guide to treatment of muscle pain begins with chapters on the concept of Qi and its relationship to myology, specific trigger point location and activation, and palpatory skill-building techniques. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on each muscle to teach clinicians to locate quickly and accurately individual points of pain and compensation. A visual index allows easy identification of the muscles that may be involved. Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain provides necessary and invaluable information for sufferers and any professional involved with myofascial disorders.
