Abseits der herkommlichen Touristenstrome, in der Mitte Chinas, liegt das Wudang-Gebirge. Hier hat eine besondere Form des Daoismus, der ureigenen chinesischen Religion, ihre Wurzeln. Die Sanfeng-Daoisten betreiben Kampfkunste und praktizieren ein spezielles Qigong. Ein Herzstuck dieses Qigongs ist die Methode Seiner Natur folgen - zuruckkehren zum Ursprung," die dem grossen Meister Huo Long (um 1200) zugeschrieben wird. Ziel der Ubung ist es, verbrauchtes, Krankheit verursachendes Qi aus dem Korper abzugeben und frisches, verjungendes Qi aufzunehmen. Yurgen Oster, ein Qigong Meister der ersten Stunde, schildert in diesem Buch sehr ausfuhrlich den Ablauf dieser Ubung; als Bewegung, als innerer korpermechanischer Vorgang und als energetischer Prozess. Zusatzlich erhalten die Leser ausfuhrliche Informationen zum Daoismus, den mystischen Wudangbergen, die Bedeutung von Qigong fur unsere Gesundheit und was sich hinter den Begriff Qi verbirgt. Allgemeine Hinweise zur Integration in den Alltag runden das Buch gelungen ab."

"The brain controls everything we do, and I believe it is the very essence of who we are." In 2015, at just 25 years old, Jessica Stevens sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her car was completely written-off when she was involved in a severe road traffic accident just outside her house. Jessica was then airlifted to The Royal London Hospital. Her family were later told: "everything is broken", and that she would never recover. She remained in a coma for the next six weeks. This inspirational book chronicles Jessica's sheer grit, courage, and perseverance, resulting in her incredible rehabilitation and ongoing recovery. A well-paced, fast-flowing narrative that is at once harrowing but totally uplifting and awe-inspiring. It will show you the power of the human spirit when all hope is gone, and how much trauma the human body can survive.

Detailed and evidence-based, this text focuses on musculoskeletal pathology and injury with descriptions of current and practical rehabilitation methods. PATHOLOGY AND INTERVENTION IN MUSCULOSKELETAL REHABILITATION provides everything you need to create and implement rehabilitation programs for your patients with musculoskeletal disorders due to injury, illness, or surgery. Each intervention includes a rationale, pathology and related problems, stages of healing, evidence in literature, and clinical reasoning considerations. This is the third volume of the new four-volume musculoskeletal rehabilitation series anchored by "Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment, 5th Edition." Dedicated and focused information on the specific pathologies most often seen in the clinic, as well as the best methods for intervention for the different areas of the body, minimizes duplication of information by referring you to other titles in the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Series for basic scientific information regarding inflammation, healing, tissue deformation, and the development of muscular strength and endurance. Trusted experts in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, along with internationally recognized contributors, present the best evidence behind contemporary interventions directed toward the treatment of the impairments and functional limitations associated with acute, chronic, and congenital musculoskeletal conditions occurring across the lifespan. Evidence-based content, with over 4,000 references, supports the scientific principles for rehabilitation interventions, providing the best evidence for the management of musculoskeletal pathology and injury. NEW! The Skin and Wound Healing chapter looks at the numerous tools available to assist in objectively monitoring and treating a patient with an acute or chronic wound. NEW!

Dieses essential liefert Physio- und Ergotherapeuten einen praxisnahen UEberblick uber die Pathophysiologie von Verbrennungen und deren zellbiologischen Aspekte bezuglich manualtherapeutischen Dosierungen. Die Differenzierung von Ausdehnung und Tiefe einer Verbrennung und die Besonderheiten solcher Verletzungen werden verstandlich dargestellt. Dieses Buch legt damit die Grundsteine fur eine selbstbewusste Arbeit mit Verbrennungen, nekrotisierender Fasziitis, hypertrophen und keloiden Narben und ist speziell auf die Bedurfnisse von Therapeuten zugeschnitten.

Insomnia and fatigue are two of the most frequent consequences after traumatic brain injury (TBI). About 30% of individuals suffer from chronic insomnia, an additional 20% have symptoms of insomnia, and up to 75% have significant and persistent fatigue. There is a strong empirical basis for the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions for the management of insomnia and fatigue in the general population and in other patient populations, and emerging research shows that these interventions seem applicable with similar benefits to people with TBI. Insomnia and Fatigue After Traumatic Brain Injury: A CBT Approach to Assessment and Treatment is written by a team of four scientist-practitioners in psychology who are experts in sleep medicine, cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Together they have authored this assessment and intervention manual for insomnia and fatigue, intended for clinicians working with the TBI population. Based on cognitive-behavioral principles, the manual integrates evidence-based interventions and techniques used by expert clinicians working with these populations. Throughout the development process, there has been an ongoing integration of the best available research, specialized clinical expertise, and knowledge transfer expertise: all of these perspectives were used to choose, revise, and format the content of the manual as to ensure that it would be most useful for the target audience.
