The Choir Press The PodyCharts foot charts for reflexology: An atlas of reflected anatomy
Book SynopsisReviewed and endorsed by leading reflexology educators and a medical doctor, the PodyCharts guide students and practitioners alike, through the wonders of the human body, reflected in the feet. The PodyCharts are superbly detailed, explicit, colourful and artistic images drawn using real feet and real bones. Each body system is labelled and shows precise positioning on the feet. The 'micro' skeleton is aligned to the bones of the feet and is also shown in each image. The actual location of every organ and tissues are measured against those bones and 'micro' skeleton. There are 10 beautiful images for every system, detailed from every angle; in addition there are also amazing illustrations of systems overlaid and close up views providing a clear picture of the way in which the body has multiple systems, but works in unison. The PodyCharts unite the science of the body with an holistic overview; no matter what methodology is used for treating the feet, the PodyCharts will be an essential and invaluable reference text for precision of touch and intent.Trade ReviewWith their relentless attention to anatomical detail and artistic drawings, the PodyCharts fill a void in Reflexology literature. They are the charts our profession has been waiting for. Dorthe Krogsgaard & Peter Lund Frandsen,Touchpoint.;Once in a while in the world of reflexology, a new concept or idea comes along that has the capacity to make a major impact on how professional reflexologists view their work. The PodyCharts have the potential to make just such an impression. Lynne Booth, Vertical Reflex Therapy.;Life, thus health and the absence of it, is not about stagnation; it is about flow. We need serious investment in research projects of alternative approaches and the emancipation of health professionals in order to guarantee a fair contest.

Written in an engaging style and full of illustrations and photographs that demonstrate the technique, this book will be of interest to anyone considering options for treatment, as well as anyone wanting to know more about the Alexander Technique.Trade Review“Describing the inner workings of FM Alexander's discoveries is a lofty task for any writer, but supplying practical processes for the reader to explore the kinaesthetic meaning of these discoveries is another. This concise little book achieves both beautifully, and coming from the founder of the largest ever teacher training course in the world carries the assets refined from a career spent giving live, one-to-one experiences.” -- Paul Cook, editor of DIRECTION, A Journal on the Alexander Technique“Jeremy Chance offers a lively, engaging and innovative approach to understanding and applying the Alexander Technique.” -- Michael J Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci and Body Learning: An Introduction to the Alexander Technique“What Jeremy taught me about the Alexander Technique is surprisingly simple yet impactful, not only on my game of golf but also on my whole life. By becoming conscious of the unconscious, I have learned a way to stay younger and live longer. I recommend this book to anyone who seeks an improved quality of life that stems from a better understanding of how the mind and body work together.” -- Nobuyuki Idei, former Chairman and CEO, Sony Corporation“I was totally surprised that just by reading one chapter my voice got twice as loud and had much richer resonance!” -- Shigeko Suzuki, Vocalist, Japan Gold Disk Award winner“Jeremy Chance's excellent new book shines light on the long-hidden secrets of this incredibly powerful method.

Many Thanks.” -- Angela Bradshaw, Alexander Technique Teacher MSTAT, DMU, DCR(R)“In this erudite and thoughtful book, Jeremy Chance describes the principles of the Alexander Technique and how to train oneself in this technique.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Integrated Approaches to Infertility, IVF and
Book SynopsisA comprehensive integrative handbook on fertility treatment, and Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART), the book is written by specialist contributors for health professionals and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practitioners, and for those seriously considering ART themselves.Integrated approaches to infertility offer both a greater awareness and understanding of the combination of factors that can influence the chances of success when undergoing different types of ART. Leading experts review the evidence and discuss the benefits of different approaches to support the physiological and emotional aspects of fertility and fertility treatment. The book covers everything from identifying and treating conditions that may reduce fertility, including immunological abnormalities and specific male and female factors, to how nutrition, acupuncture, reflexology and yoga can support couples going through assisted reproduction, including helping to improve some immunological aspects. There is also a chapter that looks specifically at support for the over 40's.Trade ReviewThis book is important for patients and all health care professionals working with infertile couples and those undergoing ART. The book reviews the evidence supporting integrated approaches to patient care and the management of infertility, and it outlines how a person-centred approach can help those trying to conceive to nurture their mind, body and spirit as they strive to bring forth new life. -- Penny Abatzi, Clinical Director, Serum IVF, Athens, GreeceThis practitioner handbook constitutes essential reading for couples experiencing sub-fertility. Whilst offering detailed information on the journey through fertility treatment, the authors build a compelling case for adverse impacts to fertility and pregnancy mediated by poor diet and lifestyle choices, genetics and environment. They raise important questions around why many of us are moving away from evolutionary reproductive norms, while offering necessarily controversial answers born out of research and clinical experience. The book should be recommended reading for all healthcare professionals. -- Meleni Aldridge BSc Nut Med, Dip cPNI, Executive Coordinator, Alliance for Natural Health InternationalHealth Practitioners working with pregnant women continue to see increasing numbers of infertility and recurrent miscarriage and IVF issues, as the average age for first-time mothers in the UK and Europe rises to 30 years of age with more women deciding to start their families later in life. This book represents a priceless resource to health practitioners of all disciplines, from medicine to nutrition as well as complementary therapists who wish to deepen their knowledge of reproductive health whilst having easy access to well documented practice-based evidence on the subject. -- Miguel Toribio-Mateas BSc (Hons) Nut Med PgDip Clin Neurosc.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Soft Tissue Release Handbook: Reducing Pain and
Book SynopsisFor practitioners of massage therapy, sports massage, remedial massage, and physical therapy, soft tissue release is a powerful tool in treating chronic pain conditions such as shoulder impingement, tennis elbow, and iliotibial band friction syndrome. Soft tissue release also aids post-surgical recovery and is used in the treatment of highly trained athletes, dancers, and musicians who wish to tackle those small but key tissue areas needed to maintain and improve their performance. The soft tissues consist of muscle fibers, myofascia, tendons, and ligaments. The all-encompassing nature of this connective tissue is becoming increasingly fascinating to bodywork practitioners of all kinds, including massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, orthopedic nurses and doctors, and sports therapists. Treatment of the soft tissues continues to gain momentum, and there are many exciting research developments that demonstrate how manipulation of these tissues can have profound effects on the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. Skilled release of the soft tissues reduces the need for adjustments or joint mobilizations, because appropriate release improves joint movement. Freeing the joints and enhancing the health of the soft tissues also facilitates a superior and lasting response to rehabilitation programs. The Soft Tissue Release Handbook is aimed at practicing therapists who wish to address the soft tissues precisely and effectively, whether as an adjunct to existing bodywork techniques or as a treatment modality in itself. The skills presented in this book can be immediately applied in the clinic with existing and new clients. Graphic illustrations of the key muscles involved in movement, as well as over 200 full-color photographs of the technique in action, make this an easy-to-use and practical guide.
