The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) was introduced by the American
physician Stephen Typaldos (1957-2006). In this model all injuries
and other conditions causing pain or disability are seen as arising
from specific distortions of the connective tissue. This highly
illustrated and very practical text and manual covers in detail the
theoretical framework of the model, and approaches to manual
therapy treatment based on an understanding of the FDM. The authors
systematically cover all disorders likely to be encountered by the
therapist, and provide comprehensive guidance about when it is
appropriate to use FDM and how best to employ these approaches in
treatment. The book is therefore of interest and value to all
practitioners who want to understand the FDM and to incorporate its
techniques into their therapeutic practice. This is also a
comprehensive textbook and manual for anyone studying on FDM
courses and for specific qualifications.
Johann Gunther, is a German immigrant, a West Point graduate,
ex-U.S. Army officer and former Oklahoma lawman. At the turn of the
20th Century, he runs a problem-solving agency in Ft. Worth, Texas
called Remedies, Inc. where if the fee is right, he works as a
private detective, a gun fighter, bodyguard and all-around
trouble-shooter for hire. He operates in a new world of changing
politics, inventive science and exploding technology. In 1906, when
U. S. Army Colonel Vito Latissimo and his unit disappear on an
discovery expedition in Afghanistan, President Theodore Roosevelt
suspects an international, criminal conspiracy. He asks his former
Rough Rider Lieutenant, Gunther to act as his free-lance agent and
accompany the follow-up British and American mission to locate this
officer. Along for the investigation are Latissimo's ill, angry and
deserted wife, her beautiful caretaker niece, an aged cavalry
company, geographic society's photographers, a reckless English
Commander, his British Lancers and a division of Indian Sepoy
soldiers. After the assassination of the U.S. contingent's leader,
Gunther reluctantly ends up in charge of the American unit. They
find Latissimo alive, well and scheming, and Gunther uncovers a
plot to assist Russia in the Great Game of disrupting Britain in
both India and Afghanistan, plus a traitor's mad scheme to become
king of the far Khyber Pass. Gunther outwits foreign spies and
revenges a murder on a cruise ship in the Straits of Gibraltar. He
battles savage tribes, escapes religious riots in Bombay, crushes
Jihadists and American cutthroats in the northwest frontier of
Afghanistan, and leads a climatic charge of a stone fort on the top
of the world. The classic, serial hero returns in the form of
Johann Gunther in this tale of wild, unpredictable, high action and
international adventure.
