There's a new buzzword in the fitness world: fascia. It's the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles and organs and helps keep everything in place. But in our increasingly busy and often stressful lives, tension and toxins are often stored within our fascia, resulting in serious long-term consequences, such as excess weight, acute anxiety, chronic pain and poor posture. Fitness and alignment expert Lauren Roxburgh - who has worked with such stars as Gwyneth Paltrow, Gabby Reece and Melissa Rauch - has the solution to keep your fascia supple, flexible and strong. Using only a foam roller, you can reshape and elongate your muscles, release tension, break up scar tissue and rid yourself of toxins for a leaner, younger look. In just 15 minutes a day, Roxburgh's 21-day programme will guide you through a simple series of her unique rolling techniques that target 10 primary areas of the body, including the shoulders, chest, arms, legs, hips, bottom, back and stomach. The end result is a healthy, balanced, aligned body that not only looks but feels fantastic. Includes over 80 photographs to help guide you through the exercises.

R169 Discovery Miles 1 690 Ships in 4 - 6 working days

This book is the updated English version (not a mere translation) of a textbook which appeared successively in Czech,in German, in Bulgarian, in Dutch and in Polish. This English version is shorter, more concise and includes the latest techniques. The role of manipulation is limited to passive mobility and an important part of this book deals with active mobility. The author emphasizes that this is a textbook and not a manual of techniques: the latter deals with individual techniques, while his purpose is to show that it can be disastrous to confine one's interest in this manner and to remain unaware of both the broader context of treatment and of the possible alternatives. There are chapters on functional anatomy, the diagnosis and treatment of disturbed locomotor system function, including indications of appropriate treatment and the place of manipulation, and finally a long chapter on the clinical aspects of impaired function of the locomotor system. The book begins by discussing the major role played by impaired function in the vast majority of patients suffering from pain arising in the locomotor system. This type of pain is altogether the most frequent from which patients suffer, and the first two chapters of this book are mainly concerned with the origin of this pain. It is traditionally associated with rheumatism, but unfortunately rheumatologists are insufficiently aware of locomotor function and leave this field largely to neurologists and orthopaedic surgeons. The author believes that the speciality which is principally concerned with impaired function and its restoration to normal is rehabiliation medicine, a term which includes physical therapy, and it is in this framework that the future of manipulation lies. This will continue to be the case until, one day, a new speciality is established, one which deals with the whole of the locomotor system and in particular with its function. Ideally, it should be called "Musculo-skeletal Medicine".

Nadja Buttner entwickelte eine Testbatterie von aktiven Bewegungstests mit dem Ziel der Identifikation von maladaptiven, zervikalen Bewegungsmustern und der statistischen Berechnung der Intertester-Reliabilitat durch visuelle Beobachtung. Anhand einer prospektiven, doppel-blindierten, monozentrischen Querschnittstudie rekrutierte die Autorin 30 Personen mit unspezifischen Nackenbeschwerden, die sieben aktive Bewegungstests durchfuhrten. Die Testbewegungen wurden von zwei unabhangigen Beurteilern als korrekt oder inkorrekt bewertet. Durch ein qualitativ aussagekraftiges Studiendesign mit detaillierten Beschreibungen und Standardisierungen der Testinstruktionen, -ausfuhrungen und -bewertungen hat die Autorin die Studienergebnisse und damit die Bewegungstests im klinischen Praxisalltag umsetzbar gestaltet und fur weitere wissenschaftliche Arbeiten nutz- und vergleichbar gemacht.

Un'ampia parte, dedicata alla terapia occupazionale, mette a fuoco i problemi degli arti superiori e traccia i possibili percorsi da seguire per un intervento abilitativo funzionale. Inoltre un capitolo, scritto da un bioingegnere, sottolinea l'importanza attribuita dagli autori agli aspetti biomeccanici del controllo motorio. Il libro sara quindi una guida preziosa, oltre che uno stimolo a migliorare l'approccio terapeutico nei confronti della persona-bambino.

Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release (Paperback, 2nd edition): Jane Johnson Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release (Paperback, 2nd edition)
Jane Johnson
R1,100 Discovery Miles 11 000 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release, Second Edition, is a practical guide to understanding and applying soft tissue release (STR), including how it can be used to deactivate trigger points and maximize patient outcomes of treatment and rehabilitation. Whether you are a student or a professional, the detailed instruction and numerous photos will help you gain proficiency and confidence in applying these techniques. Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release thoroughly explains the differences between the three types of STR—passive (clients do not help), active-assisted (clients and therapists work together), and active (clients do it on their own)—and provides step-by-step descriptions for performing each type. This edition incorporates new content on how soft tissue release may be used to deactivate trigger points, aiding in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Additional updates include the following: • More than 150 new photographs and 21 new anatomical illustrations • Guiding arrows overlaid on photos to show the direction in which to apply pressure • Illustrations of trigger points found in 21 muscles • New descriptions of the use of active-assisted STR on the iliotibial band (ITB), infraspinatus, biceps brachii, and triceps • New sections describing how to apply active STR to gluteals, trapezius, scalenes, rhomboid, and pectoral muscles • Instruction for applying passive STR to shoulder adductors • Case studies providing examples of how STR was used with four clients with differing problems Complementing each technique are information on the key holds, moves, and stances for various muscles and handy reference charts indicating the types of clients and situations for which each technique is particularly useful. The full-color photos depict the locks and stretches, while some of the more difficult techniques are accompanied by photos showing the position of the therapist and a skeletal overlay on the client so you can pinpoint the specific muscle being targeted. The book also explains how to use alternative options—such as massage tools and forearms, fists, and elbows—to protect your hands and thumbs from overuse. Tip boxes offer practical comments on applying the techniques, while Client Talk boxes provide insight into real-world situations. Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release also shows you how to incorporate the proper techniques into a treatment program. It guides you through the consultation process and provides examples of initial questions to ask clients and various assessment forms to use in identifying clients’ needs. Using case studies and comparisons, you will learn how the data gleaned from clients can guide the design of an effective treatment program. Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release, Second Edition, is part of the Hands-On Guides for Therapists series, developed to provide the best clinical and educational resources available for those in bodywork professions.
