The book discusses theories and physiology relevant to the manual treatment of chronic pain, especially as it regards the soft tissues of the upper body. Step-by-step protocols that address each muscle of a region and a regional approach to treatment are features that make this book unique. A structural review of each region, including ligaments and functional anatomy, adds value for new students and practitioners alike.

Format:Hardcover
Those familiar with Chaitow’s previous books in the Advanced Soft Tissue Techniques series (Muscle Energy Techniques, Modern Neuromuscular Techniques, and Positional Release Techniques) will recognise the format of this volume: many photos and well drawn diagrams that clearly illustrate the various techniques, supported by well-written and stimulating explanatory text. There is inevitably a fair amount of reiteration of previously covered ground, but here the authors have done a good job of drawing together various strands in modern thinking and practice of soft tissue techniques in one comprehensive text.
The first third of the book is devoted to several chapters that provide an overview of current thinking and research into dysfunctional soft tissue states. There are wide-ranging and heavily referenced discussions on subjects such as Connective tissue and the fascial system, Causes of musculoskeletal dysfunction, Trigger points, Inflammation and pain. The emphasis is on providing useful theoretical models that may support clinical practice. The remainder of the book consists in four lengthy chapters that present assessment and treatment procedures for dealing with regional musculoskeletal dysfunction, covering the cervical region, the cranium, the shoulder, arm and hand, and the thorax. An eclectic range of treatment approaches is described, including muscle energy, myofascial release, positional release techniques as well as NMT. Interspersed with the text are many figures and boxes containing useful additional information.
The focus throughout is on evaluation and treatment from a biomechanical perspective. This is a natural bedfellow of the protocol-driven approach to practice implied by the authors, and the step-by-step ‘how-to’ structure of this book. Therein lies its limitation, or its appeal, depending on your perspective. One further note of caution: this book is not cheap, and if you like it you may feel compelled to acquire the equally pricey companion volume, which covers the lower body.

Clinical Application of Neuromuscular Techniques - Vol. I
26 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is a really clearly written, concise book, with drawings and pictures of muscle positions, trigger points, etc. I bought the Jane Travell Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction Books before this one came out, and for the money wish I had bought the Clinical Application of Neuromuscular Tech. Book. Unless you are a Physician, who wants to inject the patient's trigger points with a saline solution, and then you better be very exact in your aim with the needle, I think the Clinical Application of Neurom. Tech. Book is a much more practical, useful, hands on, straight forward book that addresses all the trigger points, origins and insertions of the muscles in a very user friendly way. Until this book came out, Jane Travell's was the only great reference guide; but what patient really likes injections? Now this book surpasses Dr. Travells, in that all the material in it is useful and usable. Can't wait for Vol. II, Lower Body, to come out.

Excellent reference
10 April 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a student of muscular therapy and own this as well as Travell's opus. Both are excellent this has more hands on techniques while Travell uses more of a hands off (cold spray and injection) techniques. I refer to this text often and would recommend it highly.

The Best NMT book for clinical use
16 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
I Have used this book now for over a year along with the other vol. which has been my NMT Bible. Thorough explanation of the why in many sought out questions through research. Chaitow is awsome. I have gone from basic knowledge of Practical application of NMT to much greater efficiency in practice and assesment.It is not for the faint at heart. A very comprehensive book. I am a MT whos practice utilizes 70% NMT, 15/15% CST/LDT.
A must have for anyone wanting to get serious with Neuromuscular Therapy.
