Excellent Teaching Tool
1 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
These case studies are an excellent adjunct to the two volumes on clinical application of neuromuscular techniques by Chaitow & Delany. They bring the neuromuscular techniques to a very practical level of application. Especially valuable are the intake and client assessment sections giving full consideration to client history, activities, nutrition, and many precipitating factors which a therapist needs to take into consideration. The section in each chapter on Questions for the Reader gets the student/therapist actively involved in thinking about the client and the case in a multidimensional way, from presenting symptoms to perpetuating factors to the use of various assessment tools. Finally, the authors share their thinking about the case in the section on Clinical Impressions and Treatment. This too is a valuable addition as it helps us to train our thinking by seeing how the experts understand the case.
This book is well organized and helps the student/therapist to look at all aspects of a client and their presenting conditions. It is designed to integrate well with the other two volumes, and together these three texts make an important contribution to teaching, learning and applying neuromuscular therapy.
