The full quote/excerpt
Only massage therapists seemed to be informed about trigger points and referred pain, and only exceptional individuals among them (in my own experience at least) were treating trigger points effectively. What’s more, the burgeoning variety of unproven modalities offered by massage therpaists gave the profession such an aura of flakiness that the elegant science of myofascial pain got unfairly confused with treatments whose results could easily be attributed to the placebo effect.
Shortened version of the quote
Only massage therapists seemed to be informed about trigger points and referred pain, and only exceptional individuals among them ... were treating trigger points effectively.
