This invaluable resource will help practitioners and students sort
out differences and similarities between popular myofascial styles.
Early chapters offer a solid review of anatomy and physiology as they
relate to myofascial massage. Subsequent chapters focus on specific
direct and indirect techniques and adjunctive self-care
recommendations for clients, including the neuromuscular approach,
hatha yoga and exercise to support myofascial massage, and the
craniosacral approach. You'll learn the proper procedure for each
myofascial technique and understand how to integrate myofascial
massage into your bodywork practice. Whether you're looking to
broaden your perspective of massage or find the myofascial approach
and technique that best suits you and your client, Myofascial Massage
is sure to help.
Exquisite illustrations enhance learning and understanding by
clarifying the techniques.
Protocol boxes recommend sequences to follow during actual myofascial
massage sessions.
Guidelines provide useful strategies for implementing each myofascial
approach and improving body mechanics and communication skills during
your client sessions.
First person experiences will add to your overall understanding of
the techniques and their uses.
Massage implications, included in each anatomy chapter (Chapters 2-
4), help you to understand the influence of myofascial anatomy and
physiology on practice.
Questions for discussion and review at the end of each chapter
encourage you test your comprehension of the materials and think
critically.
