Overview

This workbook is designed to help therapists learn how to use myofascial release successfully with their patients. It is not research oriented, but more of a sharing of experiences, and contains over 100 illustrations.

Content and Approach

It includes ways of looking at patients with a kinesiology perspective, and examples of different releases for the shoulder, neck, upper extremity, trunk, pelvis and low back, hip, and lower extremity.

Practice and Self-Care

It is designed to encourage the therapist to practice on their own to develop skill in this manual technique, with a worksheet in the appendix to help structure practice sessions. There is a short section on preventative stretches for therapists to use on themselves.
