The fascial and membrane technique developed by Peter Schwind combines the fundamental thoughts from Ida Rolf ́s Structural Integration with concepts of osteopathy, creating a successful combination of form-stabilizing and mobilizing techniques. The book emphasizes diagnosis and treatment of the breathing patterns manifest in the myofascial system; minimalistic as well as global application joint techniques; visceral techniques in the myofascial context; special treatment techniques in the craniosacral area and care of the upper jaw. Includes comprehensive information on therapy from head to foot with descriptions of the anatomic correlations. Clearly describes the theoretical and practical principles so difficult concepts are easily understandable. Detailed, easily transposed instructions about treatments allow the reader to put the concepts into practice with ease. Photographically documented movements show real examples of topics discussed.

What is the Fascial Network? How does fascia-specific training affect the quality of the body’s network of connective tissue? The Fascial Network, a new resource for exercise trainers and instructors, closes the knowledge gap in exercise science regarding fascia—a long-neglected structure that deserves far more attention than it has received, until now. The fascial network is a web of connective tissue that surrounds the body’s muscles and organs. It gives the body integrity, providing the tensional network in which our muscles work. Fascia-specific training makes the body more resilient, more flexible, and more energetic. This new approach of looking at our own anatomy provides a primarily scientific explanation for the physiological processes that make up the energy-related holistic thinking of Eastern concepts such as acupuncture, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. Thus, two doctrines that could not be more different in their approach find common ground and offer mutual ways of explanation. The Fascial Network explains the function of the body’s connective tissue by offering insight into its formation, physiology, and anatomy. This resource includes exercises for fitness as well as for recreational and competitive sports. With fully illustrated examples for practical implementation, it also serves as a training aid for instructors and physical therapists. Develop a healthier, stronger you with The Fascial Network.

Prepared in an easy-to-follow, practical format, the first part of the volume explores the anatomy, physiology, embryology and biomechanics of the venolymphatic system. The volume then presents a variety of effective treatment options which range from the treatment of functional disorders of the diaphragm, the intraosseous fluid system, the spleen, liver and gallbladder, kidneys and ureters, to the management of problems connected with the abdominal mesenteries and abdominal organs. Richly illustrated with an abundance of artworks and photographs throughout, this volume will be ideal for osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists, physiotherapists and massage therapists worldwide. Clear writing style, excellent organisation and the effective use of line drawings, photographs and tables make learning easy Explains the causes of oedema and its subsequent physiological pathway, including the role of the excretory organs in its dissipation Uniquely explores the importance of the deep lymphatic and venous systems in the context of treating lymph disorders via physical methods Explores the treatment of oedema arising from deep venous and myofascial obstruction Demonstrates how enhanced lymphatic flow may improve pharmacokinetic activity Presents a philosophy of 'gentleness' which emphasises patient centred individual and holistic care Designed to enhance clinical decision making and technical skills which will allow the practitioner to develop an effective and safe treatment approach Ideal for experienced practitioners as well as those taking undergraduate and postgraduate courses in manual and related therapies

Fit, gesund und schön mit Faszientraining für ein straffes Bindegewebe Die Faszien bilden in unserem Körper ein Netz und geben ihm dadurch Halt, Struktur und Form. Ob der Oberschenkel straff gespannt oder eher wie Wackelpudding aussieht, hängt im Wesentlichen vom Tonus der ihn umgebenden, bindegewebigen Hülle ab. Deshalb müssen wir neben den Muskeln auch die Faszien trainieren, denn nur dann haben wir eine gut geformte straffe Körperkontur, und nur so werden wir Cellulite, Winkeärmchen und den Hängepo dauerhaft los. Faszientraining sorgt aber nicht nur für einen fitten Körper, sondern auch dafür, dass wir uns mit jugendlicher Spannkraft, leichtfüßig federnd und schmerzfrei bewegen können. Divo Müller hat in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Faszienforscher Dr. Robert Schleip ganz neue Übungen für Menschen entwickelt, die ein eher schwaches Bindegewebe haben, und stellt dieses Ganzkörperprogramm nun erstmals in einem anschaulich bebilderten Ratgeber vor.

Written by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high velocity, low amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing to provide safe and effective treatment. Maitland shows how to elegantly release joint fixations in the spine, sacrum, pelvis, and ribcage by using subtle soft tissue techniques, rather than the thrusting techniques that "pop" the joints. This gentler kind of individualized Rolfing work is thoroughly described within an explanation of biomechanics, aided by drawings and photographs which depict techniques and anatomy.

Since the time of Hippocrates, medical practitioners have noted the clinical significance of temperature changes found over different parts of the body. In Manual Thermal Diagnosis Jean-Pierre Barral brings this form of diagnosis into the new millenium. As one aspect of the physical examination, manual thermal diagnosis is a method that utilizes sensitivity to temperature changes to identify dysfunction within the body. It is useful across a wide spectrum of health disciplines, and augments other forms of diagnosis. Manual Thermal Diagnosis begins with a review of the scientific understanding of body heat, and the clinical significance of changes in surface temperature. The reader is then provided with the tools that are needed to transform one's hands into sensitive diagnostic instruments. Each area of the body is surveyed, from the cranium, face and neck to the thorax, abdomen, pelvis and posterior visceral projections. This is an indispensable book for practitioners who want to discover more of what their hands can tell them.
