Product Description

Product Description
A collection of tried and tested, effective and safe techniques and exercises for relaxing muscles in spasm and easing associated muscular pain. All the exercises included can be done at home without assistance from anyone else. All are suitable for inclusion in a management programme under the direction of any therapist involved in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. They can be used to treat existing conditions or to prevent more major injury (especially in relation to sports).

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must-Have" book for any manual therapy student!, 17 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Maintaining body balance, flexibility and stability is probably the best book I've bought this year!! Excellent layout, large, clear photos, beautifully illustrated diagrams, and very practically oriented. As with Leon Chaitow's other books (for example Clinical Application of Neuromuscular techniques), one muscle is discussed at a time. Inside the back cover are some very handy 'cue-cards' that you can photocopy and give to patients as reminders. Also, lots of 'clinical gems' in the book. Interesting read (i.e. user-friendly) combined with truly practical info (tests, stretches etc) that will help your patients get better. I thought the price was very reasonable. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to chiropractic, physiotherapy, or osteopathic students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended book for therapists as well as clients, 7 April 2009
By Embody Massage (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
As the title suggests it is a book which helps you understand postural and core stability problems, the role they play in back pain etc and what you can do to help maintain or regain your own posture.
The book also comes with a set of free to photocopy cards which are very useful to give to clients, they explain simply how your client can carry out stretches including MET in their own time and speed recovery, it is expecially good for chronic problems.
