Myofascial Release, Second Edition With HKPropel Online Video,
offers a dynamic approach to fascial and soft tissue work suitable
for all students embarking on a career in hands-on therapy as well
as for experienced therapists looking to add skills to their
treatments. Ruth Duncan, an advanced myofascial release therapist,
proprietor, instructor, lecturer, national committee member and
John F. Barnes protege, shares her expertise to offer in-depth
descriptions of myofascial techniques and their applications. This
scientifically grounded approach presents an overview of the entire
fascial matrix, the three-dimensional web of tissue that supports
every other structure in the body. The explanation of the anatomy
and function of the connective tissue system gives practitioners
the solid background needed to treat muscle injury, immobility, and
pain. The book also outlines how myofascial release relates to
other massage modalities, allowing therapists to incorporate a
range of treatments. Descriptions of over 60 myofascial techniques
contain details on the timing, direction, and hold of each stretch
as well as numerous photographs that illustrate the body and hand
positions of each technique. Nuanced explanations of the unique
feel of soft tissue help the therapist enhance their palpation
skills. The therapist learns how to apply the best approach
(cross-hand releases, longitudinal plane releases, compression
releases and transverse plane releases) on specific injuries or
issues. A new chapter on scar tissue details how practitioners can
relieve the pain and tension common in surgical and other types of
scars. The text also contains home programs that clients can use
themselves between treatment sessions. Myofascial Release, Second
Edition, includes special features that make this resource more
effective for readers: Full-color photos present a strong visual
guide to employing each technique safely. The photo index quickly
points readers to the desired technique. Tips provide practical
comments on applying the techniques. Client Talk boxes share the
author's experiences and insights on common situations. Quick
Questions at the end of each chapter test readers' knowledge of
material. More than 20 online videos showcase visual demonstrations
to help the reader learn the techniques more quickly and
accurately. Finally, the text offers insight on interacting with
clients. It covers the client consultation process, how to check
for contraindications and perform the visual assessment, how the
client may respond to the treatment, and what the practitioner and
client might feel and see during the process. Readers will conclude
Myofascial Release, Second Edition, with a holistic understanding
of the approach and how to apply the principles to their practice.
