Hello
First time replying, long time lurker

Whenever I have piriformis impingement (I haven't had it in several years) I go to my myofascial therapist. She's told me that the only way you can guarantee that the therapist is trained is that they own the 2 volumes of the Myofascial Pain and Function Trigger Point Manual, known colloquially as "The Red Books" so ask your potential therapist if he/she has them.

Only a true Myofascial therapist or Trigger point therapist will have them. Or someone like myself who collects odd books. Good way to vet them. Don't go to a deep or Swedish masseuse, it's a waste of time and money. I would know because I did that once early on before I found my trigger point therapist. Should be lots of qualified therapists in your area. I'm in Albuquerque and I've only found one. Good luck!
