Fascial Release for Structural Balance, Revised Edition: Putting the Theory of Anatomy Trains into Practice

Description

Unlock the power of fascial release—the ultimate guide to structural balance and pain relief.

From the creator and bestselling author of Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists.

This thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative reference Fascial Release for Structural Balance brings the book up to date with all of the most current research on the role of fascia and myofascia in the body, and how treatment affects it. This edition takes advantage of more sophisticated testing to explore in greater detail the relationship between anatomical structure and function, making it an even more essential guide. Offering 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 “bodyreading,” the book features 150 color photographs that clearly demonstrate each technique. The authors, both respected bodywork professionals, give any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy—including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger point therapists, and massage therapists—the information they need to deliver effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic change in clients’ shape and structure.

Fascia, the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help with many chronic conditions that their clients suffer from, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing the strains that may contribute to the patient’s ongoing aches and pains, leading to rapid, effective, and lasting pain relief. James Earls and Thomas Meyers argue that approaching the fascia requires “a different eye, a different touch, and tissue-specific techniques.”

今はDeepLなど優秀な機械翻訳アプリがあるので、読み進めるのにそれほど苦労はありません。普段から基礎医学の用語・知識に多少でも触れている方ならば問題なく読めるでしょう。判りづらい日本語版の訳文に頭を悩ませるより、はるかに効率的と思います。
内容も抑えるべき事をコンパクトに纏めており必要充分です。ちゃんとしている良い本だと思います。

This is VERY useful--a practical guide for fascial manipulation. As a therapist trained mostly in spa modalities, I've been somewhat reluctant to tackle the complexities of this topic. But I'm ready, and now armed with this information, I can hopefully become enabled to effect some impactful structural changes for my clients.

This book has an amazing amount of information in it - it is not light reading! It is a reference you will return to again and again. Other books explain anatomy, and some books do a good job of explaining facial release, but this is the first book I've seen that really explains the process of "BodyReading" -- using postural assessment as an important tool in the evaluation of bodywork clients. BodyReading does not itself provide a diagnosis; rather, as the book says, "it is a source of questions (and sometimes answers!) that need to be followed through by touch and/or movement". It will change the way you look at the human body.
