Whether for sports competition, work, or maintenance of posture, everyone needs muscles that are not only strong but also supple and in balance. Regular manipulation of the soft tissues has an essential role to play, and soft tissue release (STR) will transform any treatment, allowing specific problems to be rapidly and effectively addressed.
In full color with helpful photos and illustrations, Soft Tissue Release: A Practical Handbook for Physical Therapists, Fourth Edition, demonstrates all the benefits of including soft tissue release in your practice. The text covers the theory behind soft tissue dysfunction and assessment as well as soft tissue release techniques for treating clients.
Techniques to address issues in the lower limbs, trunk and neck, and upper limbs are explored in detail. The text considers how treatment can be applied before and after an athletic event and how clients can apply self-treatment. Special consideration is given to young athletes, older clients, and pregnant and postpartum clients.
