If you would like to have access to the DVD content, please purchase the print copy of this title. An authoritative text presenting the growing evidence base for Mobilisation with Movement techniquesDeveloped over the past 26 years, Mobilisation with Movement (MWM) remains a relatively new form of manual therapy. It is, however, becoming one of the most popular approaches for the management of musculoskeletal disorders. Mobilisation with Movement: The art and the science introduces the concept of Mobilisation with Movement, describes basic Mobilisation with Movement techniques and outlines its principles of application. The book summarises the emergent evidence base underpinning Mobilisation with Movement techniques, including randomised controlled trials, and shows how far the technique has progressed since first introduced by New Zealand physiotherapist Brian Mulligan in 1984. This easy-to-use manual therapy textbook is an excellent reference for the clinician, teacher, student and researcher and is intended to provide a nexus between the technique's seemingly successful clinical approach and its science base. A series of case studies brings the practical art of Mobilisation with Movement to life, while highlighting the underlying clinical reasoning and applied evidence base. • a systematic review of the evidence for the technique's efficacy• a review of the current state of Mulligan's 'positional fault hypothesis'• a new model of the mechanisms by which Mobilisation with Movement works• demonstrates the clinical application of Mobilisation with Movement through twelve cases by leading practitioners• more advanced aspects of the clinical application are developed and critiqued, including guidelines on dosage and troubleshooting options• the accompanying DVD demonstrates techniques from the text and features Brian Mulligan |

| chiropractor active release therapy: The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Clair Davies, Amber Davies, 2013-09-01 Trigger point therapy is one of the fastest-growing and most effective pain therapies in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve patients’ formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain, both conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits. This book addresses the problem of myofascial trigger points—tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Restricted circulation and lack of oxygen in these points cause referred pain. Massage of the trigger is the safest, most natural, and most effective form of pain therapy. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, Third Edition, has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. This edition includes a new chapter by the now deceased author, Clair Davies’ daughter, Amber Davies, who is passionate about continuing her father’s legacy. The new edition also includes postural assessments and muscle tests, an illustrated index of symptoms, and clinical technique drawings and descriptions to assist both practitioners and regular readers in assessing and treating trigger points. If you have ever suffered from, or have treated someone who suffers from myofascial trigger point pain, this is a must-have book. |

| chiropractor active release therapy: NeuroKinetic Therapy David Weinstock, 2012-06-05 NeuroKinetic Therapy is based on the premise that when an injury has occurred, certain muscles shut down or become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked. This compensation pattern can create pain or tightness. By applying light pressure that the client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle, revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client’s body to remove the compensation patterns—reprogramming the body at the neural level.This easy-to-follow practitioner’s manual presents a series of muscle tests specially designed to uncover and resolve compensation patterns in the body. Author David Weinstock begins by explaining how this approach stimulates the body and mind to resolve pain. Organized anatomically, each section of the book includes clear photographs demonstrating correct positioning of the muscle accompanied by concise explanations and instructions. Labeled anatomical illustrations appear at the end of each section showing the relationships between the muscles and muscle groups. This essential resource is especially useful for physical therapists, chiropractors, orthopedists, and massage therapists looking for new ways to treat underlying causes of pain. |

| chiropractor active release therapy: Myofascial Stretching: a Guide to Self-Treatment Brenda Pardy, Jill Stedronsky, 2020-03-24 IMPORTANT!Many of the techniques in the book require the use of a small inflatable ball to apply pressure into the fascial restrictions. Balls must be purchased separately. Through a lot of research and experimentation, we have found what we feel to be the highest quality, longest lasting 4 inflatable ball on the market. They are available through this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088P9THQK?pf_rd_r=27AMK3Y5T3P8H12P8RQJ&pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbeeMyofascial Stretching: A Guide to Self-Treatment is a manual of techniques that, when completed properly, results in permanent lengthening of the body's connective tissue and dramatically improves health and quality of life. It was written for the lay person who has chronic pain, muscular tightness and/or postural dysfunction; and also for therapists to use to recommend home exercise programs for their patients. Myo means muscle. Fascia is the tough connective tissue surrounding every cell of the body from head to toe like a three-dimensional spider web. Injury, trauma, inflammation and poor posture cause the fascial system to tighten, putting pressure on muscles, nerves, blood vessels, bones, organs and the brain. Resulting symptoms include pain, restriction of motion, and structural misalignment, which can impair daily functioning and athletic performance. Myofascial Stretching removes this abnormal pressure, allowing the body to return to optimal function.The book follows Myofascial Release principles, using sustained pressure and tissue elongation. Two ways to do Myofascial Stretching are included: one using a 4-inch inflatable ball and one utilizing active elongation. The two methods complement each other, especially if one first releases tight tissue with the ball and follows up with an elongation stretch to the same area. Myofascial Stretching differs from traditional stretching in four primary ways. 1. Time. All stretches, with or without the ball, must be held continuously for minimum 90 to 120 seconds before the fascia begins to let go. It is not uncommon to hold a technique for 3-5 minutes or more in order to release multiple layers of tightness or restriction. The result is permanent release of the tissue, as opposed to temporary results achieved with traditional 30 second stretching. 2. Active elongation. This is what allows one to engage the fascial barrier. 3. Conscious Presence. It is exponentially more effective when you are able to focus on the tension in the tissue, direct your breath into the restriction, notice the resulting slack as the release takes place, elongate into the next barrier and wait for another release to occur. Regular practice will increase body awareness, and result in improved focus and groundedness. 4. Simultaneous Stretching and Strengthening. During active elongation, muscle groups opposing the tight fascia have to contract in a sustained manner. This strengthens them, thereby helping to maintain the elongated state of the tissue just released.Following an introduction to the Myofascial Release approach, the book includes a photograph of every technique with an accompanying narrative description. The 12 book sections relate to different parts of the body with a chart to help decide where to start depending on symptoms. This arbitrary division is for simplification in organizing the information. In treatment the body is always considered as a whole.Utilizing Myofascial Release principles for stretching causes a permanent softening and lengthening of connective tissue. This results in decreased pain, enhanced daily functional abilities, refined athletic performance, increased ease of movement and improved posture. It is extremely empowering to see and feel these results in your body and in your life, and to know you have the ability to manage and diminish your own pain, while saving money normally spent on various practitioners.

| chiropractor active release therapy: Technique Systems in Chiropractic Robert Cooperstein, 2018-01-12 Technique Systems in Chiropractic describes and analyses the most common techniques in today's chiropractic. These techniques, sometimes called brand-name or proprietary techniques, each provide a step-by-step protocol for proceeding from examination findings to adjustive and other treatment procedures. Until now, the most readily available descriptions of these techniques have taken the form of articles and seminar advertisements written and distributed by the technique innovators themselves. Major chiropractic technique textbooks frequently list these techniques and some provide synopses, but they do not include the detail really required for readers to come to any serious conclusions about their safety and efficacy. In Technique Systems in Chiropractic, the authors describe over two dozen technique systems in a non-judgmental but critical manner, summarizing the available research and drawing conclusions as to what is actually known about them, compared with what the technique innovators themselves say. KEY FEATURES - Describes and analyses over two dozen of the most widely known and used chiropractic technique systems, in' alphabetical order. - Uses a common format for each technique system, allowing the reader to easily locate desired information and draws comparisons between techniques. - Features chapters on chiropractic terminology, as well as examination and adiustive methods that are common to many technique systems. - Compiles and summarizes the relevant research on each technique, drawing summary conclusions and clearly identifying what is known and what is not known about each. - Explains why there have been so many technique systems in chiropractic, past and present, as this relates to issues of jurisprudence, practice parameters, and guidelines for care. - Explores the interface between chiropractic technique systems and the movement toward evidence-based chiropractic (EBC). Presents demographic information on the rates of utilization of each technique in Canada and the United States. - Includes a glossary of technique-specific terms and jargon. Technique Systems in Chiropractic provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art resource on the different technique systems in common use by chiropractors throughout the world. It will provide students and practitioners of chiropractic with the easy access they need to enrich their knowledge of the vast array of chiropractic technique procedures, whether to whet their interest in pursuing further training in given technique systems, or to incorporate various of these procedures into the more generic, eclectic practice or chiropractic to which many practitioners seem to be drawn at this time. Insurance claims adjusters, attorneys, managed health care and government administrators, students and instructors in allied health professions, individual! interested in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and, of course, current and prospective chiropractic patients will also find this book of great interest. |

| chiropractor active release therapy: Myofascial Release Therapy Michael J. Shea, Ph.D., Holly Pinto, 2014-11-18 Michael Shea, one of the foremost experts on myofascial release, presents straightforward, practical instructions for dramatically releasing pain and restriction of motion in the body's fascia, muscles, and connective tissue. He introduces a soft tissue, hands-on approach for massage therapists, physical therapists, and other healthcare practitioners that reduces tension and stress in their clients' entire myofascial systems, as well as their musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems. Therapists with little or no background in myofascial release and deep tissue reorganization can follow this book's easy guidelines in order to facilitate substantial orthopedic changes and pain reduction in their clients. Illustrated with 70 black and white photos, Myofascial Release Therapy includes an at-a-glance section that provides a step-by-step procedure for quick reference. Each photo is supplemented with instructions, as well as with arrows for easy reference in the clinic. This book provides the first integration of the verbal, visceral, and palpation skills of the therapist. It also includes work on the viscera as a way of integrating soft tissue work through the abdomen and pelvis. While manuals on the bones, muscles, and viscera have previously been divided into separate volumes, this book combines them into one. The author offers specific tools and protocols for helping patients destructure past somatic experience and reform it into something healthier.

Following on from The Original Body this book invites an even deeper immersion into the reality of practice and the totality of personal experience in accessing the power of our inner teacher.As the theme of this book unfolds the reader is invited towards a sensory understanding leading to profound insight. Teachers using this book will be able to share with their students the clarity, mental space and basic wisdom that emerges as a result of their awakening physiology.

Deeper Still goes beyond current experience and invites teachers to write their own story, develop their own script, ride the uncatchable wave that might be called yoga, and open up creativity to the next level.Deeper Still enables teachers to take their students to a deeper dimension. It also:provides a basis for off the chart experiencesappeals to the depth mind through a deepening physical experienceinvites a more profound contact with groupsbrings out the essence of yoga in students as a consequence of a deeper creativityhighlights emergent insight as a feature of group workblends an ancient concept with modern western yogadraws attention to the relationship between soft tissue sensitivity and the quality of xonsciousnessexamines the potential for abundant resonance in group work and the so called 'universal experience' |
