This text shows the reader how to develop their skills in myofascial release. Carol J. Manheim shares her expertise and understanding of the individual patient experience. Her techniques should enable the reader to interpret the appropriate feedback from the patient and respond to it with specific releases. "The Myofascial Release Manual, Third Edition" is a comprehensive resource that teaches skills of myofascial stretching. The book has a user-friendly format to clearly detail specific procedures, as well as to introduce the reader to the theory and experience of the method of myofascial release. More than 150 photographs clearly illustrate the key steps of each release and the serial layout of photographs facilitates the comprehension of the proper mechanical application of techniques. A detailed assessment is supplied for the therapist to initially evaluate the patient as well as monitor progress throughout therapy.
