Riassunto

Building on the success of the 1st Edition and its accompanying video, this outstanding how-to manual features up-to-date chapters that cover the latest developments in the field. This osteopathic method focuses on allowing spontaneous physiological release of hypertonic muscles, including those in spasm. The gentleness of positional release techniques, the ease of application, and the potential for instant response are just a few of the benefits to patients, especially in cases of acute spasm and pain. It also allows chronically tense tissues to relax, making it a useful component of integrated therapeutic interventions that employ other soft tissue and joint normalization procedures. A new CD-ROM included FREE with the text offers high-quality video clips demonstrating specific techniques, as well as the entire text of the book in an on-screen, searchable format.
