Hi Craig, I can recommend a truely wonderful book called "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" (2nd edition) by Clair Davies. This very well-written book provides a range of techniques for treating overuse and trigger-point issues. The book is grounded in an understanding of the various muscles of the body... and it has quite literally saved my life. I can't recommend it strongly enough.
