Positional Release Techniques (Elsevier Health Sciences)

The new edition of this successful book continues to present the basis and practice of Positional Release Techniques (PRTs), a widely recognized safe and gentle approach to the effective treatment of soft-tissue and joint dysfunction. Fully updated throughout, the authors - under the guidance of Leon Chaitow - present the role of PRTs in the treatment of a variety of conditions ranging from headache and dizziness to pelvic pain and fibromyalgia. The book clearly presents the latest research findings underpinning PRT methodology and guides the reader in the effective application of PRTs in the acute and chronic settings via the use of clearly written text, abundant diagrams, photographs and educational film clips on an associated DVD. Now published for the first time in full colour, this book will be ideal for all those professionals who have an interest in human movement: physiotherapists, osteopathic physicians and osteopaths, chiropractors, manual therapists, massage therapists and personal trainers.
