Fascial Release for Structural Balance, Revised Edition: Putting the Theory of Anatomy Trains into Practice
Unlock the power of fascial release—the ultimate guide to structural balance and pain relief.
From the creator and bestselling author of Anatomy Trains : Myofascial Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists.
This thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative reference Fascial Release for Structural Balance brings the book up to date with all of the most current research on the role of fascia and myofascia in the body, and how treatment affects it. This edition takes advantage of more sophisticated testing to explore in greater detail the relationship between anatomical structure and function, making it an even more essential guide. Offering a detailed introduction to structural anatomy and fascial release therapy, including postural analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper assessment of a patient through "bodyreading," the book features 150 color photographs that clearly demonstrate each technique. The authors, both respected bodywork professionals, give any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy—including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger point therapists, and massage therapists—the information they need to deliver effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic change in clients' shape and structure.
Fascia, the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help with many chronic conditions that their clients suffer from, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing the strains that may contribute to the patient's ongoing aches and pains, leading to rapid, effective, and lasting pain relief. James Earls and Thomas Meyers argue that approaching the fascia requires "a different eye, a different touch, and tissue-specific techniques."

OK, I checked this out from the library and soon discovered I had to have my own copy. My own personal copy has been purchased. What a wealth of valuable techniques and information.

Great book for anyone interested in myofascial release
never-finished
September 18, 2016Kirjan aihe on hyvin kiinnostava. Sain hyödyllistä tietoa siitä, miten hoitaa kehon liikkuuvuutta, miten voi vaikuttaa nivelten virheasentoihin ja liikeratoihin ja mitä faskiat ovat.
Suomennos on paikoin jäänyt valitettavasti raakakäännöksen tasolle. En tarkoita nyt latinaperäistä tai anatomista termistöä (joiden ymmärtämisessä auttaa kirjan hyvä kuvitus) vaan omituisia sijamuotoja, epäluontevia verbimuotoja, kapulakielisyyttä ja muuta sellaista.
