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.
