Editorial Review:

Product Description:
With a focus on helping clients participate in the self-management of their own treatment, this collection of effective and safe techniques and exercises provides practical information on relaxing muscles in spasm and easing associated muscular pain. Reader-friendly and accessible, it provides numerous exercises that can be used to treat existing conditions or to prevent further injury. While the exercises can be used in a management program under the direction of any therapist involved in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, they are also ideal for home use - so patients can do them without special equipment or the assistance of others.

  • Safe and effective exercise techniques help patients relieve tense muscles and ease related pain.
  • Numerous, colorful illustrations are included throughout the text to provide a better understanding of techniques.
  • Clear and easy-to-follow explanations of each technique improve readability and comprehension.
  • Expert guidance helps readers select the appropriate exercise for each situation.
  • Content helps patients remember what the therapist wants them to do between one consultation and the next.
  • The role of the patient in maintaining his or her own fitness is emphasized to ensure successful treatment outcomes.
  • All of the exercises can be done at home - without special equipment or hands-on involvement of the practitioner.
  • Plastic cards inside the back cover provide exercises and instructions for patients to use at home.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Reference
Chaitow's testing and treatment methods are presented clearly and with instructions which make this manual suitable for in-home use. The text gives the rationale for the exercises and contains abundant explanatory photographs and illustrations. The information, while presented in a user-friendly, manner is technical enough for use by the health care professional. This is a valuable resource for any self-care or professional health care library.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great client self help book
This book is not only informative, but has great teaching aids in it. There are several laminated pages in the back of the book with several stretches and muscle energy techniques to increase flexibility and range of motion in several diferent body areas.
Dr. Chaitow has even graciously printed 'ok to copy' on these self help pages.
