Soft Tissue Release: A Practical Handbook for Physical Therapists By Mary Sanderson
Description
Originally published in 1998, Soft Tissue Release: A Practical Handbook for Physical Therapists was the first ever book to be written on soft tissue release therapy and its reputation as one of the most highly respected textbooks on the subject is as strong today as it was then.
Now in its fourth edition, this latest version contains the most up to date information on the role of fascia and even more comprehensive anatomical imagery to illustrate the theory and techniques involved.
Soft tissue release (STR) is an effective treatment approach designed to be easily integrated by any therapist working with pain, injury and movement dysfunction. This versatile approach enhances the physiological benefits of traditional massage to help relieve muscle pain, improve athletic performance and speed recovery from sports injury. Put simply, STR involves a ‘lock and stretch’ of tissue―but how exactly does it work, what is accepted as ‘best practice’ in terms of application, and how can it be used alongside other tools and techniques?
In this highly practical health guide, Mary Sanderson shares a comprehensive range of techniques she has found to be the most beneficial during her own successful career as a physical therapist and lecturer.
