This beautifully illustrated book and DVD provide an introduction to Dr Guimberteau's groundbreaking work. He is the first person to publish video "movies" showing the structure of the fascia and how the fascia responds to. Based on what can be seen he has developed his own concept of the multifibrillar structural organisation of the body, wherein the "microvacuole" is the basic functional unit. His films confirm the continuity of fibres throughout the body thereby seeming to confirm the tensegrity theory, which provides the basis of many manual therapy and bodywork teachings. His work ties in with that of Donald Ingber on tensegrity within the cytoskeleton, and adds to the evidence linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix as described by james Oschman. The book and accompanying DVD provide, for the first time, an explanatory introduction and explanation of these theories and link them to the visual evidence shown in the video on the DVD.This material will be highly valued by osteopaths, massage therapists, chiropractors and others as it provides part of the scientific underpinning of their techniques, as well as an explanation of what is happening when they use those techniques to treat their clients. So Guimberteau's material confirms what manual therapists already believed but didn't fully understand. He has provided an explanation of how fascial layers slide over each other and how adjacent structures can move independently in different directions and at different speeds while maintaining the stability of the surrounding tissues.

Cet ouvrage présente une technique de traitement fondée sur les études scientifiques récentes sur le fascia. La thérapie des dysfonctionnements fasciaux (TDF) est une technique complémentaire à l'ostéopathie et à la kinésithérapie dans le domaine du sport et de la rhumatologie. C'est un outil efficace pour la prise en charge des capsulites rétractiles, des tendinites, des entorses, des séquelles d'entorses, des troubles musculaires et des douleurs en général. Après une introduction générale sur la structure des fascias en lien avec le système nerveux, l'ouvrage décrit les techniques d'une façon très didactique. Avec plus de 400 illustrations et photographies, ce livre apportera au praticien de santé un outil performant et agréable à consulter.
