The book 'The Modern Art and Science of Mobility' discusses maintaining functional movement and addressing pain, particularly from trigger points. Techniques like self-massage are emphasized for pain relief and recovery. The importance of a multi-faceted approach to combat pain and improve movement efficiency is presented and promoted in the volume
