Positional Release Techniques
Elsevier Health Sciences (Verlag)
978-0-7020-5111-1 (ISBN)
At its core, the book explores the principles and modalities of the different forms of positional release techniques and their application which range from the original strain/counterstrain method to various applications in physical therapy, such as McKenzie's exercise protocols and kinesio-taping methods that 'unload' tissues. These methods are traced from their historical roots up to their current practice with a showcase of emerging research and evidence.
In addition to a series of problem-solving clinical descriptions supported by photos of assessment and treatment methods, learning is further boosted by practical exercises which examine PRT methodology and the mechanics of their use.
Emphasises safety and usefulness in both acute and chronic settings
Comprehensive coverage of all methods of spontaneous release by positioning
Easy to follow and extensively illustrated
Balanced synopsis of concepts and clinical-approach models throughout
Revised content structure
New chapters including:
Strain/counterstrain research
Positional release and fascia
Balanced ligamentous tension techniques
Visceral positional release: the counterstrain model
Redrawn and new artwork
