A two part text on fascia and how to treat disorders of its function. Section 1: Fascial Foundations provides a summary of the latest understanding relating to the anatomy and physiology of fascia including an exploration of what can go wrong. It reviews the latest research findings and hypotheses. Containing 4 chapters written by the Editor, Leon Chaitow it also includes a chapter by Thomas Myers on Global Postural Assessment. Section 2 : Selected Fascial Modalities presents 15 chapters each addressing a different therapeutic approach to the treatment of fascia dysfunction. Each of these chapters is written by a different internationally respected and well-known clinical expert in the modality discussed. The complete book therefore proves a compilation of fascia related/directed techniques (including to the treatment of scars), that builds on a background of what is now known or hypothesised on in relation to fascial dysfunction and its repercussions for physical activity. • Compiled and edited by an internationally respected author, practitioner and teacher.• Constructed in 2 distinct sections to cover (1) the necessary background research and knowledge base and (2) the most effective manual therapy approaches for restoring or improving fascial function • Includes 16 chapters contributed by clinical experts in different therapy approaches to managing fascia dysfunction.• The therapies discussed are all supported by research and relevant clinical evidence is summarised for each modality.• All the clinical chapters are written in a similar format making it easy to dip into. • All chapters are fully referenced.• Brings together contributions from some of the best known practitioners and authors in the field • Highly illustrated with black and white photographs and line drawings and a colour plate section to illustrate key anatomy. Section A. The first 4 chapters will be tightly written with photos and drawings to illustrate the anatomy/physiology etc.

The author's own teaching and practice provide the material that explains and illustrates fascial anatomy and therapeutic procedures. The beautiful full color photographs and videos of dissections of non-embalmed cadavers show the continuity of the fascial system and its dynamic links to other body systems. By demonstrating the effect that therapy has on body structures the book will be of interest and practical value to the physical therapist, osteopath, chiropractor, physician and all bodyworkers dedicated to manual therapy, as well as to researchers wishing to build on this ground-breaking material.Volume 1 covers the science and principles of Myofascial Induction and its applications to the upper body.&nbsp; Volume 2 addresses its applications to the thoracic and lumbar spine, the pelvis, and the lower body.

Alternative Medicine

This book serves as a primer for all professionals: doctors, physical therapists, osteopaths, massage therapists, yoga teachers, or fitness professionals, to give them a solid working knowledge of fascia both as a tissue and a system. Lavishly illustrated and with a strong storyline, each chapter logically connects the reader to the next (rather like the fascia itself) and gives the reader a clear understanding of the clinical significance of fascia, the latest in fascia science, and how the fascial system interacts with the other systems of the body from the cellular level on up. This book, while complete unto itself, will also serve as a valuable reference for deeper study.

Experiential anatomy is an embodied learning method integrating interoceptive awareness and conscious movement to empower whole-person healing. This subjective and holistic approach views the body as a doorway into deeper self-awareness and self-understanding that can strengthen personal agency and restore mind-body balance and health. In this illustrated guide to therapeutic applications of experiential anatomy, yoga therapy is used as a framework for somatic exploration. After introducing key foundational and learning principles, subsequent chapters simplify complex anatomical information into digestible components that are integrated into accessible therapeutic practices. Each experiential chapter contains a wealth of explorations incorporating breath, self-palpation, somatic inquiry, and yoga postures that collectively nurture a felt sense of anatomical parts, their interrelationships, and their connection to the multidimensional Whole. These simple embodied practices motivate self-regulation and awaken inner wisdom. This book will help somatically oriented teachers and therapists work with students and clients to cultivate interoceptive awareness and compassionately repattern habits of breath, alignment, movement, and mind.
