About this title

Synopsis

Offering therapists additional approaches to the treatment of musculo-skeletal problems, the author presents alternative 'non-invasive' treatments based on many years of clinical experience, covering both traditional and modern scientific theories. He has no quarrel with the use of conventional methods when they are indicated. Instead, he shows how acupressure can facilitate post-operative and post-trauma healing, outlines contraindications to the use of acupressure and advises when it is essential to delay its application. As a result, we have a most valuable text for virtually any practising manual therapist who wishes to extend the range of their skills.

The author is a Chartered and State Registered Physiotherapist, a Doctor of Acupuncture and a past president of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

* The first comprehensive clinical acupressure book for healthcare professionals with direct application for hands-on therapists of every tradition
* A practical handbook introducing the orthodox therapist to alternative techniques showing how the best features of both approaches can be integrated for the benefit of the patient
* Offers practical advice on diagnosis, optimal treatment sequences, when to use gentle touch, when to be bold etc
