More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Whether for sporting competition, work, or the maintenance of posture, everyone needs muscles that are strong, supple, and in balance. Regular manipulation of the soft tissues plays an essential role in maintaining healthy muscles. Soft Tissue Release will transform any treatment, allowing specific problems to be addressed rapidly and effectively.
This essential guide is a compact yet comprehensive source of information for the manual therapist and will unlock the secrets of soft tissue release (STR). The book is clearly illustrated through a series of diagrams and photo sequences to show the techniques involved. Soft Tissue Release is divided into eight parts, introducing STR and then covering the technique, the lower and upper limbs, the trunk, and the neck. Pre- and post- event treatment and self-treatment are also clearly explained. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Paperback
This book is a Must for anyone studying or practising any form of Physical Therapy. Having been shown the technique of STR, and putting it in to practice by the author herself I can certainly confirm she knows her subject, which is very clearly emphasised in the explanation and clarity of the technique in her book. I can recommend very highly the techniques and have had some Excellent results when working with clients. I have found this book to be one that I often refer to and it has a very important place on my therapy bookshelf. A book well worth the money and investment.

Mary offers a unique systematic, informative approach to a difficult technique, using terms that are easy to follow and with pictures to match. An essential addition in my view to any physio/physical therapists personal library. Highly recommended.
