Elsevier Health Sciences Recognizing and Treating Breathing Disorders
Book SynopsisDisordered breathing patterns may be a symptom or a cause of frequently undiagnosed health problems. This book is intended to help practitioners understand the causes and effects of disordered breathing and to provide strategies and protocols to help restore normal function.Trade Review"...this far-reaching book covers everything one would wish to learn about breathing pattern disorders - I feel it is an essential source of reference and information to all health professionals working in this area...I would urge everyone interested in the subject to place an order..." Anne Pitman MCSP SRP, Manual Therapy, October 2002 "The whole book is well illustrated and referenced, provides practical case examples and sensible cautions..I cannot think of anything they have left out. Ashley Conway. Journal of Holistic Healthcare: Volume 4 Issue 4 November 2007 Patients with common psychological dysfunction including anxiety, low mood and depression, sleep disorder, chronic low energy syndromes etc., all can respond well when the breath cycle is identified and adapted by cognitive processes. This text is the most comprehensive of its kind and the clinical application of the content so broadly based it deserves a wide readership. Donald Scott, Osteopath, UK This is an extremely well-detailed book and I love how it explores all areas of breathing i.e. the psychological, emotional and physical elements of the process. Eva Au Zveglic, Specialised Respiratory Physiotherapist, UK This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in breathing from whatever discipline they belong to. Anne Pitman, Physiotherapy, Devonshire Place, London, UK As the current title suggests, I feel the book appropriately covers multidisciplinary management strategies of BPD which is an extremely important aim given that the disorder is so complex with multiple aetiologies and no single assessment or treatment tool. Kate Bazin. Physiotherapist, UK Breathing is an overlooked part of human function. We need more information about breathing as it is such an important prerequisite for the normal functioning of so many other body systems. Ken Crenshaw, Head Athletic Trainer of the Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Team, USA As clinical practitioners we must always be aware of causation, maintaining and exacerbating factors. Abnormal breathing has the ability to be all three of these. T. Hewetson, Lecturer in Osteopathy, Oxford, UK This is not a perfect all-encompassing textbook.That was not its purpose. As a catalyst for stimulating further exploration and for use as a reference in clinical work of wide-ranging paradigms it succeeds admirably.

Elsevier Health Sciences Positional Release Techniques
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewI like the work of Leon Chaitow, he has taught me a lot about the art of manual medicine. This book is practical and rich with information you can use with your patients in everyday practice. Amazon Reviewer The information presented in this volume is right on target. Easy to read and understand. Information is also clarified by the DVD that accompanies the book. I highly recommend this therapy. Amazon Reviewer Once more, Chaitow shows us in Positional Release Techniques important ways to re-establish the normal functional states of different structures, such as muscles, by eliminating spasm, enhancing circulation and more. This is a very fine book that will be useful for many manual therapists. If you have any doubt, don't wait any longer, acquire it! Amazon Reviewer The British Osteopath Chaitow goes into details of the various positional release techniques such as strain/counterstrain, functional release etc. which helps clarifies all the terminology. Chaitow also has a video which is a good accompaniment to the book. Kind of wish I had this for the boards. Amazon Reviewer This book is intended for those allied health professionals working in the musculoskeletal area with a special interest in advanced soft tissue techniques. The distinguishing features of this latest edition of Advanced Soft Tissue Techniques, is the contribution of authors from other allied health professions. These include osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists. In reading this book there is a quote in one of the chapters that I feel epitomises the philosophy of the text and it is as follows. "No-one owns techniques or concepts and sectarian division helps no-one, least of all the patient. Perhaps the future will bring a holistic unity of concept, even if the techniques diverge somewhat" pg 240. This text goes a long way to reducing these sectarian divisions and mysteries as to other professions' techniques and terminology. Whilst Chaitow is the key author, the contribution of the other professions provides a good mix of techniques and philosophies. The book is comprised of 12 chapters with the first seven devoted to the positional release philosophy, techniques and treatment of conditions such as fibromyalgia syndrome and the use of trigger points. The next chapter is authored by Robert Copperstein, a chiropractor, and covers the sacro-occipital technique and use of padded wedges for diagnosis and treatment. Anthony Lisi, also a chiropractor, interestingly provides an overview of the McKenzie approach to the management of back pain in the next chapter. This is followed by chapter on the Mulligan approach presented by a range of physiotherapists led by Ed Wilson. Dylan Morrissey, a well known physiotherapist from the UK, provides an overview of unloading and proprioceptive taping techniques. The book concludes with a chapter by Julia Brooks on positional techniques as applied to animals in particular horses and dogs. To reflect back to the quote, it is good to see a text that is providing a range of soft tissues options for treatment and also demystifying some of the terms that each profession uses. The use of jargon and terminology in professions is an on-going challenge and makes the reproduction and dissemination of techniques and the sharing of knowledge difficult. At least this text will provide the reader with a better understanding of the different mobilising and soft tissue techniques used with the osteopathic, chiropractic and physiotherapy professions. Duncan Reid MHSc( Hons), MNZCP Senior Lecturer, Auckland University of Technology Positional Release Techniques contains over 600 images, photographs and illustrations. It is a clinical text that can be effective used by chiropractors, osteopaths and physical therapists. Mr. Chaitow clearly identifies tender point locations in the body, as well as various treatment procedures and other key topics of interest to those who practice manual medicine. A supplemental DVD is also included with the purchase of the book. With a variety of release techniques currently being used, Positional Release Techniques is an effective tool which evaluates all methods available from functional osteopathy to strain / counter strain approaches. Not only does the text describe the manual procedures in step-by-step detail, but Chaitow also provides information on how best to integrate with other approaches which are manual, including MET. Usefulness and safety are both emphasized in both chronic and acute environments.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Pelvic Pain Explained What You Need to Know
Book SynopsisPelvic pain is more ubiquitous than most people think and yet many suffer in silence because they donât know there is help or they are too embarrassed to seek it. This book looks at the variety of problems that can lead to pelvic pain, and how to address the issues when they arise.Trade Review'Pelvic pain is not something we run marathons or distribute ribbons for. On the contrary, it’s an invisible condition.' That assessment from a patient captures the sense of isolation and longing for support shared by many who suffer from this complex, challenging, and sometimes chronic malady. Approximately 20 percent of women experience pelvic at some time in their lives. Men get it, too (but are often misdiagnosed). Anatomically, the pelvic floor – a collection of muscles, nerves, and connective tissue – props up abdominal organs, aids posture, and assists with sexual, urinary, and bowel function. Prendergast and Rummer, physical therapists specializing in the treatment of pelvic pain, provide an overview of the causative factors, symptoms, and therapeutic options for the problem. Management of public pain may include physical therapy, injections, topical medication, prescription drugs (anticonvulsants, antidepressants, benzodiazepines), cognitive behavioral therapy, and surgical procedures. Excellent explanations on how pelvic pain and dysfunction impact sexuality and pregnancy are included. Overall, a sound and sensitive discussion about a vexing medical disorder. * Booklist *Pelvic pain can be indicative of many things, and tends to be associated with difficult diagnoses and treatments. This book helps lead both patients and practitioners through the intricate realm of pelvic pain by offering straightforward solutions. The book is structured into three general sections which cover the definitions of pelvic pain, how to treat pelvic pain, and how to maintain pelvic health. These sections are further broken down into concise and effective chapters with paragraphs that make generous use of subheadings for ease of reference. The material is presented logically and clearly. For example, the material in Pelvic Pain: A Road Map moves from defining the pelvic floor through common pain symptoms, difficulties of diagnoses, contributing factors, and so on. A judicious use of charts, bulleted lists, black-and-white illustrations, tables, personal stories and more will be very helpful to readers. Readers may find some information surprising; for example, that treatment may be best handled via an interdisciplinary approach, that men are also susceptible to pelvic pain, and that there is significant support out there for this particular condition, from the Happy Pelvis online support community to, well, this first-rate book. Appendixes convey a very good list of pelvic pain resources, including books, products, blogs, and more, as well as a basic evaluation interview which is a good starting point on the path to recovery from this condition. Detailed notes, a bibliography, and an index follow. * American Reference Books Annual *This book aids the patient and clinician to give overview of pelvic pain symptoms, causes and treatment options. For some patients this problem can really be misunderstood and medical knowledge can be lacking from the medical teams. This book gives good clear processes for patients and clinicians to follow. The book is easy to read, written by experts and educators. The first sentence in the forward gives the patient confidence and reassurance 'if you suffer with pelvic pain, you need to read this book' the hand of reassurance is there for the sufferer and partner. It also reassures the reader they are not alone (which sometimes feels like the case). There are interesting patient stories and their journeys, which are interesting and can aid the sufferer. This gives a personal feel to the book without it being too weighty on the medical aspects. For nursing students who have no experience of this there is good chapters regarding anatomy and contributing factors for great understanding.... The overarching strength for the sufferer is that there is so much hope in this book. Although this is written in the US, this book is just as apt for the sufferer and medical teams in the UK. The title extends the arm of help and advice to all involved with this condition, as it is titled 'what everyone needs to know'. The authors have helped numerous people with this problem so the reader knows this is based on experience and practice. Overall I found no weaknesses in this book. The patient, medical and nursing (whatever stage in their career) and medical teams (particularly useful when looking at individual cases) [should read this book]. * Nursing Times *The key to treating almost any person suffering with pelvic pain, vulvar pain, or pain with sex is to address their pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Stephanie Prendergast and Liz Rummer are leading experts in the evaluation and treatment of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and patients travel from all over the globe to receive their specialized treatment. Pelvic Pain Explained will give you the answers to critical questions such as: “What is the best way to treat my pelvic pain?” “How can I find a provider to help me treat my pain?” “What can I do at home to speed up my recovery?” The answers to these, and many more essential questions can be found in Pelvic Pain Explained. -- Andrew T. Goldstein, MD, FACOG, IF, Director, the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders; coauthor of When Sex Hurts: A Woman’s Guide to Banishing Sexual PainPelvic Pain Explained is exactly what it promises—an explanation of how chronic pain develops and evolves, as well as a discussion of the rationale for various treatments. It will is a valuable tool to give patients to help them understand how their pain came to be chronic and how they can best navigate the treatment options. I would highly recommend this book to any medical professional who has at some point encountered a chronic pain patient and felt they have run out of treatment options. -- John Thiel, Interim Academic Head of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, University of SaskatchewanThis book is a MUST for every person suffering from chronic pelvic pain. The authors do a fantastic job of explaining the complexities of pain from the patients' perspectives as well as the science about why people develop chronic pelvic pain. This will positively impact people's lives who often live in isolation with their pain and help them realize they are not alone. The book explores avenues to reduce and manage this difficult chronic condition. Pelvic Pain Explained: What Every Patient and Provider Should Know will become a recommended read to all my chronic pelvic pain patients as part of their healing process. This book is a MUST for all health care providers who care for people with chronic pelvic pain and in my opinion, all health care students. The authors expertly lay out the complex biopsychosocial pathology associated with chronic pain and the concept of a health care team approach to address all aspects of how pain affects the body, mind, and spirit. -- Danielle Staecker, MD FACOG, Assistant Professor, Director of the Center for Pelvic Pain and Sexual Health, Department Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Kansas Medical CenterTable of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Pelvic Pain: A Roadmap 1: Pelvic Pain 101 2: How did I get Pelvic Pain?: The Importance of Uncovering Contributing Factors 3: Demystifying the Neuromuscular Impairments that cause Pelvic Pain Part II: Getting on the Road to Healing 4: I have Pelvic Pain, What do I do now? 5: Pelvic Pain PT: In the Treatment Room 6: A Guide to Navigating Treatment Options 7: The Pelvic Floor and Pregnancy: Treating New Moms Right 8: Pelvic Pain and Sex: The Facts Part III: In the Driver’s Seat: Taking Control of your Healing 9: At-home Self Treatment: Taking Matters into your own Hands 10: Exercise to Stay Fit without Flaring Symptoms 11: Tips for Optimizing Communication with your Providers 12: Tips for Day-to-Day Living Appendix A: Pelvic Pain Resources Appendix B: Evaluation Interview: Complete List of Questions
