"The Roots and Philosophy of Dynamic Manual Interface "is a
personal account of the development and evolution of Frank Lowen's
hands-on therapy. A former program director and popular instructor
at the Upledger Institute, Lowen begins with his own history and an
account of the unique events that have shaped his career.
Originally schooled as an artist, Lowen developed an interest in
alternative medicine and bodywork. He describes his training at the
Upledger Institute (which led to teaching positions and directing
the institute's visceral manipulation program) as well as his work
with Jean-Pierre Barral, described by "Time "magazine as a top
healing innovator in the new millennium.
The body possesses an enormous memory, a record of all the experiences of human life. Fears, anxieties, traumas, and physical and emotional shocks imprint themselves on the body and remain there in a dormant state until they are roused by an event or encounter. They may manifest under a different form or in a different place - a fearful incident may transform itself into a stomach ache or a headache, or even a chronic disease - pain creates its own path. In particular, psychological and emotional stresses affect the functioning of the internal organs.In "Understanding the Messages of Your Body", Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral explains the relationships that exist between our organs and our emotions, to allow us to free ourselves from the effects of present and past tensions and traumas. The book opens with an explanation of how body-mind therapy works, and goes on to propose therapeutic models based on examples from Dr. Barral's clinical practice. The second part of the book serves as a reference for emotion and organ typology, and Dr. Barral gives detailed analyses of various "types" of human personality and the physical-emotional complexes and related organ dysfunctions that accompany them. He also offers abundant advice and encouragement to improve our physical, psychological, and emotional health, and recommends physical exercises, psychotherapeutic approaches, and dietary plans that can be used by both professional therapists and lay people.
Based on Dr. Croibier's everyday clinical experience, this book provides critical tools for examining patients in order to determine what the course of treatment should be. Written for manual hands-on therapy students and practitioners that include osteopaths, physical therapists, and chiropractors, the book explores in depth the osteopathic diagnosis process that aims to identify an abnormality and to discover factors that may be causing the dysfunction. Drawing a comparison between diagnosis in classical medicine and osteopathy, Dr. Croibier explains that the osteopath focuses on restoring the conditions of good health rather than simply addressing the consequences of disease. Enhanced with more than 175 full-color instructional photos and illustrations, the book describes the manual hands-on assessments and general evaluations that lead to a diagnosis. Manual assessments include objective observation, diagnostic touch, palpation of the affected areas of the body, visualization, and "listening" (a hand placed on a specific part of the body to determine tissue functionality). Based on Dr. Croibier's recommendations, the manual therapist also performs a patient intake and interview; general evaluation that analyzes the patient's symptoms and general state; examination of posture and equilibrium; and observation of individual characteristics, such as constitution, temperament, and body type.
The Fascial and Membrane Technique developed by Peter Schwind combines the fundamental thoughts from Ida Rolfs Structural Integration with concepts of Osteopathy. With this a successful combination of form-stabilising and mobilising techniques has emerged. Due to this holistic approach the concept will appeal to all manual working therapists. The main emphasis of this book is on diagnostic and treatment of the breathing patterns manifest in the myofascial system; minimalistic as well as global application joint techniques; visceral techniques in the myofascial context; and special treatment techniques in the craniosacral area, eg for mandibular joint dysfunction, care of the upper jaw after implants and for the after effects of a whiplash injury. Includes comprehensive information on therapy from head to foot with descriptions of the anatomic correlations. Clearly describes the theoretical and practical principles so difficult concepts are easily understandable. Detailed, easily transposed instructions about treatments allow the reader to put the concepts into practice with ease. Photographically documented movements show real examples of topics discussed.
Based on the premise that movement is essential for life and any
restriction will affect our health, visceral manipulation starts
with the core, the viscera (organs), and extends throughout the
entire body to address pain, structural imbalances, tensions, and
restrictions. The practitioner uses specifically placed manual
pressure that promotes normal movement, tone, and internal movement
of the organs, their supporting structures, fascia, nerves, and
blood vessels. The ultimate goal is improved health by allowing the
body to perform and move optimally.
