Myofascial Release. Treatment of Fascial Dysfunctions, Soft Tissue Mobilization, Working with Scars and Adhesions

In front of you is a practice-oriented guide on one of the key areas of modern manual therapy – myofascial release. It is based on working with the fascial matrix as a single three-dimensional system that affects movement, pain, and recovery. The author presents MFR not as a set of techniques, but as a therapeutic approach, where precise palpatory diagnosis, kinesthetic 'listening' to tissues, competent body mechanics of the specialist, and consideration of the interconnection of body structures are essential. The second, expanded edition features improved basic techniques, myofascial mobilization, methods for working with scars and adhesions, as well as principles for combining techniques for comprehensive body treatment. The book is intended for massage therapists, physiotherapists, and sports doctors. It will be useful for students of medical universities and colleges, clinical interns, and attendees at continuing education faculties. It is also for anyone who practices myofascial release independently.
