Book SynopsisThis book brings the Feldenkrais Method and the concept of Somatic Education to a wide audience. As well as providing an introduction to the Feldenkrais Method and its applications, a team of highly qualified contributors, representing a variety of therapeutic professions, explore how the Feldenkrais Method interacts with and supports other professions and modalities, including Pilates, yoga, dance, physical therapy, sports coaching, rehabilitation medicine, and more. (See the table of contents for full details.)Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984), the founder of the Feldenkrais Method, built his Method around the concept of improving human functioning by increasing self-awareness through movement. The concept of neuroplasticity - the brain''s amazing capacity to change and adapt - was one of Feldenkrais'' basic tenets of how the brain organizes movement, and is now in our daily lexicon. Pain, illness and injuries all affect how our nervous system and brain react to events in us and around us. Feldenkrais'' thesis is that our nervous system always does the best it can with the information it has, and learning through the nervous system is the theme that runs through this book.Coverage includes:Comparisons about similarities as well as differences between the different modalities.Theory and practice of how the Feldenkrais Method can be applied in a variety of specific settings.Coverage of the research base that supports evidence-informed practices for clientsOnline video of theory and practice accessed by QR codes throughout the book

Book SynopsisThis book is for the current Cranial Osteopathic practitioner. It looks into Cranial Osteopathy from a more profound ''inner'' approach to help the practitioner to understand Cranial Osteopathy from a deeper and broader perspective. The book starts by taking the reader on an ''inner'' journey of understanding more about themselves as the practitioner, discussing the ''osteopathic toolbox'', and the need to be ''inner centred'' when diagnosing and treating. It then looks at aspects of diagnosis - of tissue and fluid states - giving the reader several ''inner'' considerations which they should apply when assessing a patient. The book then looks at the whole body and using an ''inner'' approach to assess and treat each area. Each chapter gives an overview of the relevant anatomy and discusses the osteopathic relevance and new ways of working. Case studies/clinical experiences are described and ''hands on'' exercises, which can be accessed via audio files, are given for the reader to practise. These exercises should be done ''at the treatment table'' and will prepare the reader to use the approaches described with their patients. The audio leads the listener through a ''guided tour'' of the anatomy and explains the exercise while they use their hands to feel what the author is describing.This guide will help Cranial Osteopathic practitioners enhance their skills, knowledge and understanding to a much-advanced level.

Book SynopsisEvery year, 8,500 people in the UK will have a subarachnoid haemorrhage, of whom about 50 per cent will survive this traumatic brain injury which often occurs without warning. Survivors can make a âgoodâ neurological recovery but the psychosocial impact can be longer lasting.Drawing from her own experience of surviving a subarachnoid haemorrhage, together with other people's journeys of recovery and recent research findings, Alison Wertheimer covers: themes of recovery leaving neurocare and early days of recovery looking for help physical, sensory and cognitive effects the emotional impact of subarachnoid haemorrhage the survivorâs relationship with family and friends returning to work what helped the survivors with their recovery subarachnoid haemorrhage as a life-changing event. A Dented Image will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience: survivors and their families and friends; health professionals working with people recovering from acute brain injury in hospital and community-based services including doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other members of rehabilitation teams. It may also be of interest to people recovering from other traumatic illnesses or injuries.Trade Review"This is an excellent, well written blend of personal experience, academic information and the experiences of others regarding life after subarachnoid haemorrhage. What I particularly liked was the last section that looked at how people cope with this life threatening and life changing experience and how the experience can produce often uplifting positive and personal growth experiences." – Dr. Trevor Powell, Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist, Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, UK"This book not only provides very practical accounts of the experiences of those who have suffered from SAH, but it is written with compassion and insight. It effectively provides a very useful guide through the difficulties that might be encountered by those who have experienced SAH, and so ought to be essential reading not only for the survivors of SAH but also professionals, friends and families who are involved." - Dr. David W. Jones, Principal Lecturer, University of East London, UK"The author has put time and dedication into giving people who have survived a subarachnoid haemorrhage a voice. Only through such an approach, the holistic needs of those surviving this condition can be truly identified, and as such is invaluable... This is an excellent text, well presented in a logical format and natural writing style. It contributes significantly to a gap in the literature." - Neal Cook, British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, October 2008Table of ContentsPreface. The Dented Image. Part I: Setting the Scene.

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.

Book SynopsisThis edited collection is the first complete guide for rehabilitation professionals seeking to engage a whole-person, biopsychosocial, and mind-body medicine integrated approach to care. Drawing on the foundations of integrative medicine, Integrative Rehabilitation Practice (IRP) goes beyond the treatment of symptoms to explore multiple levels, roots, and possible contributing factors to individual's health experience. IRP acknowledges the complex inseparability of biological, behavioral, psychosocial, spiritual, and environmental influences.The book covers both the theoretical foundations of IRP and applications to practice in the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, yoga therapy, speech and language therapy, and many other professions.Featuring contributions from Matthew J. Taylor, Marlysa Sullivan, Andra DeVoght and other professionals, case studies, storytelling, and reflective exercises, this cross-disciplinary clinical training guide is essential reading for all rehabilitation professionals, as well as others interested in advancing whole-person care.Trade Review"Health care" as practiced these days is dysfunctional. This detailed text was created to advance an ongoing necessary evolution of current rehabilitation practice. Utilizing realistic case examples and opportunity for personal reflection, it serves as a complex, "deep-dive" resource manual for developing holistic humanistic healthcare practices for "post normal" times. It pragmatically outlines the nuts and bolts of a model of true healthcare that offers practitioners examples of practice models based on an alternative to those currently utilized which were created from an outmoded linear science that reflects a "fix-it" mentality of disease and disability management. This manual offers an evidence-based foundation of how to provide patient care emphasizing authentic health care that is comprehensive and relational, where the patient is sovereign, and all systems coordinate and cooperate to offer comprehensive holistic care. -- Carol M. Davis, DPT, EdD, MS, FAPTA Myofascial Release Physical Therapist, Integrated Physical Therapy and Wellness Professor, Emerita Department of Physical Therapy, University of Miami, Miller School of MedicineI am not sure I can contain my enthusiasm about this textbook! Finally, a comprehensive and inclusive text that presents an expanded whole person, heart-centered rehabilitation paradigm for rehabilitation. The perfect blend of evidence, clinical examples, experimental learning, and reflection helps me personally engage with the material and feel empowered to be part of the process of transforming healthcare. I am thrilled to recommend this must-have text and cannot wait to share its contents with my students. -- Michelle Bradshaw, DC, OTR/L Associate Professor and Chair of Graduate Studies, Department of Occupational Therapy, Ithaca CollegeThis book is the most important and relevant collection of expert perspectives on integrative rehabilitation. I highly recommend this book for all healthcare professionals and even to patients. The breadth of collective knowledge and depth of experience brings together the most comprehensive wisdom on integrative rehab practice in print. This book is an empowering read and the experiential pauses throughout the book make the learning "hands on". Through stories and cases, the authors beautifully weave the importance of the whole person into the care of the physical body while recognizing the power and complexity of the mind and spirit in the healing process. -- Mari Ricker, MD Associate Professor in Family and Community Medicine and Assistant Professor in Family and Community Medicine, Director of Integrative Medicine in Residency, Andrew Weil Center for Integrative MedicineThe use of storytelling in this text brings each chapter alive engaging the reader in a practical and accessible way no matter the profession or environment you are working in. With a focus on cultivating psychological flexibility in relationship to science, within ourselves and with our clients it serves a purpose at various levels of the mind-body-environment connection. The authors humbly create a case for embracing uncertainty which is embedded within IRP. Therefore, if you are wanting to cultivate fresh eyes and clearer sight into your experience as a rehab practitioner or have just entered the field, then this is a valuable new resource for that creation to begin. -- Louise Sanguine, OTR/L Occupational Therapist, Adolescent Addiction and Mental Health Outpatient Therapist, AB, Canada Occupational Therapy Consultant, Simply Counseling Services and Imagine Psychological ServicesThis book is a totally unique book that should be read by a range of professionals. Health Professionals, students going through training in any health care field, Public Health Professionals, Politicians, and of course people that are experience anything less than acceptable levels of health should read this book.The first part of this book suggests a new base/concept/context for health. As it is stated in the book: "Not new tools on existing Practice Patterns, but a new orientation as base." I could not agree more. It is time that we stop "band aiding" a health care system that is not working towards healthy citizens and communities. We need to form a new base and this book suggests a new base that we at least should consider. It looks at relationship building between the health care worker and patient/client, and also how the environment and society has to be considered when we are looking at health. Part 1 includes many diagrams and figures that highlights the message that the editors are trying to convey and makes the writing much easier to follow. There is a lot of talk about multi-disciplinary and trans disciplinary health care. Those are buzzwords in education and health care today. The editors do a very nice job suggesting that integrated health care is a more appropriate concept for the future.Part 2 and 3 of the book are looking more at specific explorations and skills as well as public health and advocacy, and has been written by health care experts in a variety of fields. Not until the reader have a solid grounding in Part 1 should they go on and read Part 2 and 3, and then they should always tie the chapters in part 2 and 3, back to part 1. Many books become more fragmented when different contributors write individual chapters. Erb and Schmid have managed to incorporate the individual chapters with each other, without losing the connection to the vision that is laid out in part 1. Overall, I strongly recommend this book. Part 1 should be read and re-read to ground the reader in the editors vision of a new health care that will bring forth healthier citizens and communities. -- Staffan Elgelid, PT, PhD, GCFP, RYT 500, C-IAYT Professor in Physical Therapy, Nazareth CollegeIntegrative Rehabilitation Practice (IRP) is the first book of its kind to apply the powerful mind-body concepts of Integrative Medicine to the field of rehabilitation. It is a Call to Action for all rehab professionals! This comprehensive text allows clinicians to "walk the walk" of an integrated approach within our respective professions. The "Body-as-Machine" paradigm has served us well in solidifying skills in the "bio" component of rehab medicine. "YES/AND" is a tool that is expounded on throughout the text to embrace our "bio" history AND develop a whole person approach so as not to undervalue ourselves and our patients by offering a reductionistic view on health. Experiential pauses are woven throughout each chapter to encourage reflection and integration of the concepts learned. There are no easy solutions or cookie-cutter approaches. There are no five-step solutions offered, rather a breadth and depth of knowledge that is a breeding ground for clinical growth and development.With curiosity and humility, IRP serves as a guide and a resource to create the best possible future for yourself and all those you serve. As you embrace IRP, step into the future of rehab! -- Carolyn Vandyken, PT Registered Physiotherapist, Physio Works Muskoka Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Educator, Advocate, Researcher Co-Founder, Reframe RehabThis book is the expression of an important evolution in creating the necessary bridge between mind and body and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary care. With this book, the authors set out a new course for future-oriented rehabilitation care. The focus is not purely on the functional aspect of care but also on optimizing the well-being and empowering of the individual by promoting physical activity, exercise, movement awareness and functional movement and thus bringing together physical and mental aspects. Inviting people to the integrative rehabilitation practice is not always about finding a direct solution; it is rather about helping people to start a dialogue with their body. The versatile book provides a comprehensive overview of practices, which stress the centrality of the body to overcome psychological distress. Everyone in clinical practice will find something to suit his taste, regardless of his or her theoretical or therapeutic background. Moreover, this book provides food for thought and that is what a good book should do. Reflection is the basis of successful and quality care in the rehabilitation sector. -- Em. Prof Michel Probst, PT, Ph.D Department Rehabilitation Sciences KU Leuven,Belgium. President of the International organization for Physical Therapy in Mental HealthWhen you recognise that a holistic approach to assessment and care is the next step in your work as a rehab professional, this is the book to open. You have learned that biopsychosocial, and holistic and body-mind views are best to serve your patients, but you don't yet have the language for a coherent discussion on the topic. You understand these approaches but lack the skills to translate key concepts to effective assessment or treatment. Open this book to any chapter; had this been the framework of a compulsory pre-licensure course, your work to date would have been far more effective. -- Neil Pearson, PT, MSc(RHBS), BA-BPHE, C-IAYT, E-RYT500 Physical Therapist, Yoga Therapist Clinical Assistant Professor, University of British Columbia Lead Contributor, Pain Foundations Pain BCThis book is a missing contextual link that can be used for medical and other health care students about integrative medicine and care. The book is well organized and the exercises deepen the flow. I believe every person who has the opportunity to serve others in healthcare would benefit tremendously from reading Integrative Rehabilitation Practice. This book reminds us of the many beautiful ways we are able to interact with each other and how very powerful each interaction can be. -- Anne E. (Annie) Weisman, Ph.D., M.P.H., L.M.T. Director of Wellness & Integrative Medicine University of Nevada, Las Vegas, School of MedicinePerson-centred care has long been a buzz word in healthcare. Transitioning from the biomedical model into an integrated and complexity model is challenging, and can feel so wide it's impossible to see round. This book is a great introduction to some complex theories and will give you a wide, flexible framework to develop your practice within. Opening up the 'thinking space' to nurture collaboration and tailor individualised, meaningful care. In short, it will help you do your job. -- Laura Rathbone, BA BSc MSc MCSP MACP HCPC Advanced Physiotherapist, Consultant, and Educator Specialised in complexly presenting pain conditionsIntegrative Rehabilitation Practice, compiled edited by Matt Erb and Arlene Schmid, is more than a textbook. It is a living, breathing and crucial guide to truly integrate the mind and body in a medical realm that has long only attended to the physical. They even take the needed leap to demonstrate the role of nutrition, gut health and epigenetics and give a broader view of the complexities these providers negotiate even in just one diagnosis. As an Integrative Physician myself, I was astounded at the attention to not only how to cultivate an integrative practice within the provider's practice, but to the integration of that work within the provider themselves. Studying this book is an alive experience as the reader is encouraged throughout to weave the teachings into their own selves and not just be a passive learner. There is thoughtful attention and to the language we can use and our need to wield its power in a way that empowers the patient for a collaborative relationship with us and with themselves. The guidance found in this work expands the integration of the mind and body to a new level and will no doubt forge a deeper path for Integrative Medicine within all of health care. -- Tanmeet Sethi, MD Fellowship Director and Faculty, Swedish Cherry Hill Family Medicine Residency Assistant Professor, University of Washington Medical School, Seattle, WAThe forthcoming book, Integrative Rehabilitation Practice by Matt Erb and colleagues is a landmark book for the rehab professions, particularly physical therapy. This book provides us, educators in academic and clinical settings with critical depth to concepts where we often just scratch the surface. While we talk about taking a wholistic approach to patient care and integrating all body systems, the socio-cultural-behavioral systems consistently receive little curricular attention and limited research funding, yet fully understanding the lived experience of the patient is central to all clinical care. The chapters provide sound evidence of important concepts and models that have direct clinical application. Concepts like social determinants of health and application of the ICF model are detailed in ways that makes them come "to life" for all learners, students and faculty. This book will have a transformative influence for several of us in the health professions. -- Gail M. Jensen, PT, PhD, FAPTA Professor Dean, Graduate School and College of Professional Studies, School of Pharmacy and Health Professions Creighton UniversityIn this book, INTEGRATIVE REHABILITATION PRACTICE - The Foundations of Whole-Person Care for Health Professionals, Matt Erb and Arlene Schmid seek to define and describe the complexities and philosophy of Integrative Rehabilitation Practice with success. In addition to great detail among the chapters regarding specific therapies with case examples, there is a refreshing experiential component that will surprise and enlighten readers. -- Dr. Bridget S.

Book SynopsisThe book offers a comprehensive approach to the assessment and treatment of disturbances in facial expression, oral movement, swallowing, breathing, voice and speech production caused by developmental and acquired neurological conditions. The principles outlined are used in patients with different etiologies (e.g. stroke, tumors, traumas).F.O.T. T., developed by Kay Coombes, is a hands-on approach based on an understanding of neurological functions and the way we learn from experience. The approach aims to give the patient experience of physiological posture and movement using facial-oral functions in normal activities of daily living (ADL). Rather than mere “exercises”, F.O.T.T involves meaningful activities aiming to promote participation, according to ICF criteria. Four main areas are covered: nutrition, oral hygiene, nonverbal communication and speech. Each chapter summarises the problems of severely ill patients and shows the clinical reasoning behind the solutions offered. Separate chapters discuss tracheostomy management and the training of the carers involved, including relatives. The chapter authors are experienced specialists (physio-, occupational- and speech-language therapists and physicians), whose contributions aim to provide interdisciplinary perspectives and translate latest research into clinical practice.Trade Review“The book is easy to read … . I highly recommend the Book Facial-Oral Tract Therapy (F.O.T.T.) -for Eating, Swallowing, Nonverbal Communication and Speech. It describes a high level of professional theoretical knowledge regarding F.O.T.T., and I often use the book in my clinical practice, as a reference Book, as well as I use the Book in my teaching for Health Professional, where I both educate students and fully trained occupational therapists and other health professional staff.” (ergoterapien.dk, November 10, 2021)Table of ContentsChapter 1 The F.O.T.T.
