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. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Soft Tissue Release Handbook&lt;/i&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Author Franklyn Sills places particular emphasis on developing what he terms &quot;perceptual skills,&quot; diagnostic skills that enable the practitioner to perceive the subtle sensations and intuitive insights that are the groundwork of most forms of holistic somatic therapy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The biodynamic approach has its origins in the clinical exploration of W. G. Sutherland, DO, (1873-1954), the founder of osteopathy in the cranial field and &quot;forefather of craniosacral therapy.&quot; In the last ten years of his life, his work changed from a biomechanical approach to a fully holistic orientation toward the ordering and enlivening forces present in the human system. Sutherland described his experiences of a mysterious presence, the &quot;Breath of Life,&quot; from which ordering forces and healing intentions arose. His work then shifted from biomechanics to biodynamics; from analysis and motion-testing to an appreciation of the unfolding of the &quot;inherent treatment plan.&quot; Sutherland encouraged practitioners to use no outside force whatsoever, but to allow the inherent ordering forces, which he called &quot;potency,&quot; to make the decisions and do the work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Franklyn Sills pioneered the biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy outside the osteopathic profession. This approach has now spread around the world in various forms. Sills wrote the early books in this field, and this new book now brings the text up to date. &lt;i&gt;Foundations in Craniosacral Therapy, Volume Two&lt;/i&gt; expands on the work described in the previous volume, starting with an overview of a biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy, which emphasizes the suspensory nature of the human system. Here we review and deepen our understanding of the &quot;three bodies&quot;&amp;mdash;the physical, fluid, and tidal bodies. We also review and expand upon the suspensory nature of the holistic shift&amp;mdash;the physical body suspended in the fluid body, in turn suspended in the tidal body&amp;mdash;within the context of the inherent treatment plan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The following chapters of the book orient to our earliest life experiences&amp;mdash;the embryonic period and the pre- and perinatal experience&amp;mdash;with chapters devoted to birth, birth dynamics, and craniosacral approaches oriented both to birth trauma and to the tissue patterns it generates. Here we orient to the prenate and birthing infant as a sentient being having and responding to life experience. Further chapters orient to the primal/notochord midline and the tissue structures that form around it. We explore the dynamics of the pelvis, vertebral axis, cranial base, face and hard palate. Volume Two finishes with four important chapters on the neurophysiology of stress and trauma and related craniosacral and verbal skills. All chapters include appropriate biodynamic approaches to traumatization and CNS activation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Volume One&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;covers both the history and conceptual ideas fundamental to Craniosacral Biodynamics, as well as the more complex structural and tissue relationships.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Often administered as a part of a three-, five-, or seven-day program, these treatments are an integral part of deep cleansing, rejuvenation, and life-extension Ayurvedic programs called panchakarma or kya kalpa. This book by a noted practitioner features more than 15 of these treatments, each described in step-by-step detail and some synchronized with two therapists for up to two hours in length. It provides the reader with all the tools necessary to begin Ayurvedic treatments as a part of a spa menu or massage therapy program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

This user-friendly self-help guide by one of the pioneers of the approach presents positions, postures, and movements designed to release tension and ease pain. Not only are the techniques simple to perform, but they can be done on one&amp;#8217;s own, without the use of special equipment. Positions for each part of the body are clearly described in lay terms and illustrated with photos and drawings. Selected topics include low back, hip and knee pain, neck, shoulder, and rib releases, repetitive strain injuries, and arthritic pain in the hands. Quick fixes for sciatica, suggestions for dealing with menstrual cramps, and gentle movement exercises to address posture, scoliosis, and flexibility of the spine are just a few among 150 techniques described. The book also includes simple movements and exercises to increase ease, function, strength, and flexibility once the pain has subsided. Rounded out with human-interest stories and client examples, this accessible work can be used quickly and effectively by anyonewith pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

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 &amp;quot;pop&amp;quot; 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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

This compensation pattern can create pain or tightness. By applying light pressure that the client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle, revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client&amp;#8217;s body to remove the compensation patterns&amp;#8212;reprogramming the body at the neural level.This easy-to-follow practitioner&amp;#8217;s manual presents a series of muscle tests specially designed to uncover and resolve compensation patterns in the body. Author David Weinstock begins by explaining how this approach stimulates the body and mind to resolve pain. Organized anatomically, each section of the book includes clear photographs demonstrating correct positioning of the muscle accompanied by concise explanations and instructions. Labeled anatomical illustrations appear at the end of each section showing the relationships between the muscles and muscle groups. This essential resource is especially useful for physical therapists, chiropractors, orthopedists, and massage therapists looking for new ways to treat underlying causes of pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Biodynamic work is based on the development of perceptual skills where the practitioner learns to become sensitive to subtle respiratory motions called primary respiration and also to the power of spontaneous healing. Through the Breath of Life, which, Sills asserts, echoes the Holy Spirit in the Judeo-Christian tradition, &lt;i&gt;bodhicitta&lt;/i&gt; in Buddhism, and the Tai Chi in Taoism, students of BCST learn to enter a state of presence oriented to the client&amp;rsquo;s inherent ability to heal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics&lt;/i&gt;, Sills offers students and practitioners an in-depth, step-by-step guide to the development of perceptual and clinical skills with specific clinical exercises and explorations to help students and practitioners learn the essentials of a biodynamic approach. Individual chapters cover such topics as holism and biodynamics; mid-tide, Long Tide, Dynamic Stillness and stillpoint process; the motility of tissues and the central nervous system; transference and the shadow; shamanistic resonances; and more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Biodynamic craniosacral therapy aims to resolve the trapped forces that underlie and drive these trauma-based patterns of disease and suffering in body and mind. &lt;i&gt;Wisdom in the Body&lt;/i&gt; teaches practitioners to develop the finely tuned skills of hands-on palpation and perception to sense the body&amp;#8217;s subtle rhythms and patterns of inertia or congestion, with the goal of ending trauma and facilitating the expression of the breath of life. A comprehensive introduction to this practice, the book draws on the insights of pioneers like Drs. W. G. Sutherland and Franklyn Sills to explain the key principles about the body&amp;#8217;s natural intention to heal and how this capability can be encouraged. A valuable resource for students, practitioners, and the lay reader, the book also includes a foreword by Dr. Franklyn Sills.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Biodynamic work is based on the development of perceptual skills where the practitioner learns to become sensitive to subtle respiratory motions called primary respiration and also to the power of spontaneous healing. Through the Breath of Life, which, Sills asserts, echoes the Holy Spirit in the Judeo-Christian tradition, &lt;i&gt;bodhicitta&lt;/i&gt; in Buddhism, and the Tai Chi in Taoism, students of BCST learn to enter a state of presence oriented to the client&amp;rsquo;s inherent ability to heal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics&lt;/i&gt;, Sills offers students and practitioners an in-depth, step-by-step guide to the development of perceptual and clinical skills with specific clinical exercises and explorations to help students and practitioners learn the essentials of a biodynamic approach. Individual chapters cover such topics as holism and biodynamics; mid-tide, Long Tide, Dynamic Stillness and stillpoint process; the motility of tissues and the central nervous system; transference and the shadow; shamanistic resonances; and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help clients with many chronic conditions, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing ongoing aches and pains. In &lt;i&gt;Fascial Release for Structural Balance&lt;/i&gt;, authors James Earls and Thomas Meyers&amp;mdash;both respected bodywork professionals&amp;mdash;argue that approaching the fascia requires &amp;ldquo;a different eye, a different touch, and tissue-specific techniques.&amp;rdquo; Designed for any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy, including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger point therapists, and massage therapists, this book offers a detailed introduction to structural anatomy and fascial release therapy, including postural analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper assessment of a patient through &amp;ldquo;bodyreading.&amp;rdquo; Featuring 150 black-and-white photographs, &lt;i&gt;Fascial Release for Structural Balance &lt;/i&gt;provides the information therapists need to give effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic change in clients&amp;rsquo; shape and structure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
