Trigger point massage therapy really was coined fully in the early 1940s by an American physician named Dr. Janet G. Travell. During a reputable tenure—where she worked under sitting US president John F. Kennedy—she devised trigger massage therapy to treat the excruciating pain he was enduring. Travell ultimately ended up publishing more than 40 papers on her findings, and fully documenting trigger massage therapy. In the early 80s, she finally released a manual called the “Trigger Point Manual,” which was followed up with a second volume in 1992. Dr. Travell worked with her colleague David Simons towards the end of her life. A third edition of the manual has been recently published by Simons and his wife, following the death of Dr. Travell.
