Wellstone Books One Body Massage
Book SynopsisGoogle massage therapist Grace Ku believes that through massage we can all learn to communicate better with one another, and of course also learn to move deeper into dialogue with our own bodies. We can help each other to fend off the warping influence of stress, worry and fear, limit technological overreach into our psyches, and bring joyousness into our days. Fifteen years ago Grace spent long hours hunched over a computer monitor, like so many others in Silicon Valley, and ended up with more than her share of neck, eye, back and shoulder pain. She thought this was how life was supposed to be. Then she had an awakening and a shift in perspective that showed her life could be different: She could be relaxed, at peace with herself and comfortable in her own body, and she could work as a massage therapist to bring balance and contentment to others. Now in her first book, she pulls together lessons learned in her years of work as a Google massage therapist. This is a book, full of GTrade Review"One Body Massage tells Grace Ku's personal story, but it's more of a guidebook to those not familiar with massage who might want to learn its principles and apply them, not necessarily as an aspiring professional but in personal relationships as well." - Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinel

Book SynopsisEnable your clients and patients to get back in the game and live pain free after injury. In Sports Massage for Injury Care, experienced sports therapist Bob McAtee explains the types of soft tissue injury most common in sport and explains why manual therapy is so valuable in treating musculoskeletal injuries. No two injuries are the same. Whether an injury is acute or chronic, you need to understand and treat the underlying cause so you don’t leave your athletes susceptible to re-injury. Sports Massage for Injury Care emphasizes the importance of accurate assessment and evaluation, and it focuses on 20 of the most common neuromuscular injuries seen in athletes. For each featured injury, there are assessment recommendations, treatment options and injury-specific protocols, and self-care options for when the athlete is not on the treatment table.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Spinal Manipulation Made Simple: A Manual of Soft
Book SynopsisWritten by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high velocity, low amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing to provide safe and effective treatment. Maitland shows how to elegantly release joint fixations in the spine, sacrum, pelvis, and ribcage by using subtle soft tissue techniques, rather than the thrusting techniques that 'pop' the joints. This gentler kind of individualized Rolfing work is thoroughly described within an explanation of biomechanics, aided by drawings and photographs which depict techniques and anatomy.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Craniosacral Biodynamics, Volume One: The Breath
Book SynopsisCraniosacral therapy is based on the belief that functions of the human system are maintained and integrated by a biodynamic force known as 'primary respiration,' or the breath of life. Found in the brain, spinal cord, and bodily fluids, this rhythmic pulse promotes healing and health. Written for students and practitioners but accessible to lay readers, this text presents the fundamental concepts and techniques of a method that redirects the cerebrospinal fluid to areas of imbalance, thus enhancing overall health. Volume One covers both the history and conceptual ideas fundamental to Craniosacral Biodynamics, as well as the more complex structural and tissue relationships.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Deep Tissue Massage, Revised Edition: A Visual
Book SynopsisFeaturing more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings, this revised edition of Deep Tissue Massage is the standard guide to the essentials of touch, biomechanics, and positioning options for a multitude of strategies to treat all major conditions encountered in a bodywork practice. The book is divided into three sections. “Fundamentals” covers basic skills of palpation, explaining the deeper layers of the body and presenting detailed instruction on working with these layers to release tension. This section gives clear information on the proper use of knuckles, fist, forearms, and elbows in preventing injury to the therapist. “Strategies” offers more precise protocols and treatment plans for the entire body with emphasis on client positioning options to stretch muscles rather than just kneading tissues. “Caveats” details areas in which the practitioner needs to exercise caution. Deep Tissue Massage presents a wealth of information in a way the therapist can immediately utilize. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and includes a preface to the new edition, a foreword, an index, a Suggested Reading list, and extended sections on integrating deep-tissue massage into bodywork practice and the psychology of treating injuries.

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.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Acupressure Taping: For Chronic Pain and Injuries
Book SynopsisSufferers of chronic pain well know the frustration of treatments involving endless rounds of drugs or expensive physical therapy--that may or may not offer relief. In Acupressure Taping, authors Hecker and Liebchen present a comprehensive guide to a new method of pain treatment--acutaping--which offers a much simpler and more effective alternative. In acutaping, elastic tape is placed over the afflicted area in accordance with related acupuncture points. During the course of normal movement throughout the day, the elastic tape provides a gentle but consistent massage to the inflamed area. Because the skin adheres to the tape, it is shifted against the subtissue during motion, causing lymph tissue to drain and connective tissue to be massaged. The authors show that most bodily dysfunctions can be self-treated through this innovative method. Combining elements of Chinese medicine with osteopathy, acutaping produces a method of treatment for ailments ranging from back pain and tennis elbow to menstrual pain and migraines. Acutaping is an easy and effective treatment--without side effects--that offers welcome relief to sufferers of chronic pain.Trade Review"With straightforward diagnostic lists, easy instructions with tips, great color photographs, and an appendix of ailments, this guidebook will appeal to those interested in trying this conservative-care approach to pain management at home. It is also appropriate for healthcare professionals working with musculoskeletal problems. Recommended for acupuncture, massage, naturopathic, chiropractic, and osteopathic school libraries as well as for most public libraries." * Janet Tapper, Library Journal, April 2007 *"Here's a guide to a new method of pain treatment, acutaping, which offers an easier alternative . . .

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body: A
Book SynopsisIn this comprehensive guide to subtle energy and its associated physical manifestations, Robert Henderson reveals how the discomfort and pain you carry in your physical body is related to the energies of the life you have experienced. The author explains the eight types of subtle energy: Emotional, which carries anger, fear, love, and other emotions; Mental, which affects patterns of behavior, beliefs, actions, and memories; Spiritual, which influences intuition, inspiration, and transcendent states; Sexual, which affects creativity, spontaneity, and excitement; Environmental, which arises from stress at work, tension at home, and other outside influences; Interpersonal, which comes from interactions with family, lovers, and friends; Ancestral, the energy of the lives of your parents up to the time of your conception; and Karmic, the energy of your past lives. Detailing how these energies are drawn in by the chakras and distributed throughout the body by the meridians, the author explains how suffering acute emotional trauma or long-term stress causes negative energies to accumulate in the energy body much like fat deposits. Our physical body reacts to these energy blockages, leading to physical conditions such as closed hips, tight hamstrings, digestive distress, chronic pain, and persistent tension in areas like the shoulders. The author explores more than 30 specific physical ailments, providing the energetic origins of each condition, the exact location of the corresponding energy blockage, and which meridians, chakras, and points are affected. He covers sexual energy in depth, explaining how to handle repressed energy as it is released during yoga or massage. As the author shows, physical ailments caused by the energies of hurtful life events can be healed through massage and yoga, allowing you to become open to the free and spontaneous circulation of energy through the subtle body.Trade Review“Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body provides a sophisticated yet user-friendly map of the body’s subtle energy systems. The work is rooted in the authority of Henderson’s own experiences as an energy healer while seamlessly weaving together knowledge from the wisdom traditions that are at the foundation of his work. Written in highly accessible language, it will be a valued resource for beginners as well as more advanced practitioners.” * Donna Eden and David Feinstein, Ph.D., coauthors of Energy Medicine and The Energies of Love *“What lays between your ‘true’ and ‘current’ self? Based on Robert Henderson’s thorough, enriching, and illuminating explanations of subtle energy and healing, I would say, ‘Your place of power.’ Henderson’s brilliant book outlines the means for detecting the blocked energies in your life and body and ways to clear them using energetic, yogic, and massage processes. Henderson’s comprehensive understanding of the sources of our obvious problems, from karma to emotions to mental misunderstandings, will enable us all to powerfully transform others and ourselves.” * Cyndi Dale, author of The Subtle Body, New Chakra Healing, Energetic Boundaries, and The Intuition G *“With more than 15 years of experience teaching and practicing Thai massage, Robert’s book enriches the culture of massage and yoga. In clear and simple language he provides a doorway to understanding the role of energy in healing. I highly recommend this book for those who want to explore beyond the physical.” * Kam Thye Chow, founder and director of the Lotus Palm School and author of Thai Yoga Massage and Tha *Table of ContentsPart OneIntroduction to Subtle Energy and the Chakras1 Understanding Subtle Energy 2 Energy Balancing in the Chakras and MeridiansPart TwoTypes of Subtle Energy and Their Release through Yoga and Massage 3 Emotional Energy4 Sexual and Karmic Energies 5 Spiritual Energy 6 Interpersonal, Ancestral, and Environmental EnergiesPart ThreeHealing Emotional Blockages7 Reading the Colors of Energy 8 Releasing Blockages in the Body: 30 Energetic Ailment Indicators Epilogue Becoming the Person You Were Meant to Be Appendix The Esoteric Index

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Crystal Wands: For Massage Therapy, Reflexology,
Book SynopsisA full-color guide to using crystal wands in bodywork and energy medicine • Explores the healing properties and indications for more than 70 crystal wands • Provides step-by-step instructions for crystal-wand techniques in massage and reflexology, in energy work such as aura tuning and chakra balancing, and for protection, power, and relaxation The healing powers of crystals and gemstones were known more than eight hundred years ago by the mystic Hildegard von Bingen and as far back as two millennia ago by the Greek physician Dioskurides. In this full-color illustrated guide, Ewald Kliegel explains the benefits of incorporating crystal wands into your bodywork and healing practice and details the techniques of doing so. The author explains how the versatile shape of a crystal wand amplifies the crystal’s energetic effects and offers advantages in massage and reflexology over other shapes of crystals and stones. The larger rounded end can act as a crystal sphere for massaging knots or large areas, whereas the tapered end is ideal for stimulating reflex zones, targeting acupressure points, and tracing meridian lines. Starting with the foundational set of three wands to begin your toolkit: Rock Crystal, Red Jasper, and Aventurine, the author examines the healing properties and indications for more than 70 crystal wands.
