In A Myofascial Approach to Thai Massage, the author takes a radically different approach to Thai Massage by redefining the sen lines in myofascial terms. He provides a coherent system illustrating the function and benefits of Thai Massage through its actions on the myofascial network, lymph and blood flow. In addition, the author questions some of the more dubious moves in Thai Massage; looks at the 'spiritual' aspects of Thai Massage in terms of presence, attention and the therapist/client relationship; takes a unique view of Thai Massage and opens the way for further exploration of massage

Les points gâchettes myofasciaux sont des zones de fibres contracturées, millimétriques, au sein d'un muscle, qui peuvent devenir particulièrement douloureuses. Les douleurs irradient souvent dans des zones corporelles éloignées et constituent un challenge pour les médecins et les thérapeutes. Celui qui peut identifier, explorer et traiter avec succès des points gâchettes doit aller en profondeur, d'une part du fait des rapports physiologiques, d'autre part pour effectuer un diagnostic et un traitement adaptés. Les chapitres d'introduction décrivent de manière concise, mais précise, les fondements des points gâchettes myofasciaux comme leurs causes ; les rapports physiologiques et physiopathologiques ; les techniques diagnostiques et thérapeutiques. La partie pratique détaillée présente plus de 80 muscles : localisation et irradiation des points gâchettes ; symptômes et facteurs déclenchants des points gâchettes ; diagnostic et traitement des points gâchettes et des fascias ; exercices pour la neuromobilité ; autotraitements et autoétirements pour les patients. De nombreuses illustrations complètent le texte et aident à évaluer ses propres expériences thérapeutiques. Cet ouvrage propose une initiation pour tous ceux qui veulent traiter manuellement les points gâchettes myofasciaux. Mais il s'agit aussi d'un ouvrage de référence pour le perfectionnement.

"Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release, Second Edition, is a practical guide to understanding and applying soft tissue release (STR), including how it can be used to deactivate trigger points and maximize patient outcomes of treatment and rehabilitation. Whether you are a student or a professional, the detailed instruction and numerous photos will help you gain proficiency and confidence in applying these techniques. Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release thoroughly explains the differences between the three types of STR--passive (clients do not help), active-assisted (clients and therapists work together), and active (clients do it on their own)--and provides step-by-step descriptions for performing each type. This edition incorporates new content on how soft tissue release may be used to deactivate trigger points, aiding in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Additional updates include the following: " More than 150 new photographs and 21 new anatomical illustrations " Guiding arrows overlaid on photos to show the direction in which to apply pressure " Illustrations of trigger points found in 21 muscles " New descriptions of the use of active-assisted STR on the iliotibial band (ITB), infraspinatus, biceps brachii, and triceps " New sections describing how to apply active STR to gluteals, trapezius, scalenes, rhomboid, and pectoral muscles " Instruction for applying passive STR to shoulder adductors " Case studies providing examples of how STR was used with four clients with differing problems Complementing each technique are information on the key holds, moves, and stances for various muscles and handy reference charts indicating the types of clients and situations for which each technique is particularly useful. The full-color photos depict the locks and stretches, while some of the more difficult techniques are accompanied by photos showing the position of the therapist and a skeletal overlay on the client so you can pinpoint the specific muscle being targeted. The book also explains how to use alternative options--such as massage tools and forearms, fists, and elbows--to protect your hands and thumbs from overuse. Tip boxes offer practical comments on applying the techniques, while Client Talk boxes provide insight into real-world situations. Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release also shows you how to incorporate the proper techniques into a treatment program. It guides you through the consultation process and provides examples of initial questions to ask clients and various assessment forms to use in identifying clients' needs. Using case studies and comparisons, you will learn how the data gleaned from clients can guide the design of an effective treatment program. Soft Tissue and Trigger Point Release, Second Edition, is part of the Hands-On Guides for Therapists series, developed to provide the best clinical and educational resources available for those in bodywork professions."--

This compact guide explains how to treat chronic pain through trigger point-- tender, painful nodules that form in muscle fibers and connective tissues. The trigger points relating to the main skeletal muscles are central to massage, bodywork, and physical therapy. The first six chapters provide a sound background to the physiology of trigger points, and the general methods of treatment. The rest is organized by muscle group, with the information about each muscle presented in a uniform accessible style.
