Ietje van Stolk has been the New Zealand pioneer in the trigger point field for nearly 10 years. For much of that time we have been in repeated personal and email contact giving me the opportunity to encourage, suggest, and guide her progress—a keen learner. This included one research project that was very successfully presented to a large professional audience. She is outstandingly qualified to share her treasure chest of clinical experience and knowledge with others.
