Fascial dysfunction is now recognised as one of the main underlying
causes of musculoskeletal pain leading to impaired and reduced
mobility. These are the symptoms which confront all practitioners
of manual therapy in their everyday practice. In this second
edition of his very successful book, Leon Chaitow brings together
contributions from 20 leading practitioners and researchers from
many different fields of manual therapy. Fascial Dysfunction -
Manual Therapy Approaches, Second Edition aims to help those
practitioners to assess more precisely the dysfunction of their
clients and its cause and to increase practitioner awareness of the
various techniques which may help them in their attempts to
alleviate their clients' problems. New features of the Second
edition include: Descriptions of new research evidence and its
implications for practice: The dependence of collagen health on a
mixture of balanced internal and external tension The importance of
adequate hydration The possible role of the telocyte The importance
of 'dosage' of therapies in management of fascial dysfunction New
chapters on: Gua Sha and cupping Global postural re-education Scar
remodelling The book is in two sections. Section I, written by
Chaitow with a contribution by Tom Myers, presents a review of the
current understanding of the function of fascia in the human body
and describes what can go wrong - the causes and effects of fascial
dysfunction and disease, and how to assess the problem and remove
obstacles to the success of treatment. Section II contains chapters
by experts in different types of manual therapy including three by
Chaitow. Each practitioner describes their own approach to the
problem of assessing and treating fascial dysfunction and explains
their specialist therapeutic approach. These approaches include:
