Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Roadmap

Kevin Morgan

This book has been designed to provide a complete overview of the available treatments for plantar fasciitis, and guidance on how to select an approach to a cure that is right for you. We include many helpful links to other resources and support pages on the Internet. The causes, such as running, and both the advantages and risks of specific treatments, are considered, with a focus on the underlying disease process. Our emphasis is on the progression of this condition, with special reference to the therapeutic value of body movement and awareness training. We have our preferred approach, which is presented, but we leave all options on the table, along with people's plantar fasciitis stories. These vignettes are incorporated into our ongoing research on available treatments for this widespread and painful condition, which really can interfere with your enjoyment of life. The authors, Kevin, aka FitOldDog, and Rebecca, combine their extensive skills in 'Pathology (the study of disease) and Ironman-Distance Triathlons' and 'Body Movement Expertise and Dance', respectively, to tackle a truly challenging problem. The book is designed to help you to escape from the plantar fasciitis treatment maze, as quickly and cost effectively as possible, and to return with happy feet to your activity of choice.

Practice-driven Research

Tracey McDonald

In this ground-breaking book, Professor Tracey McDonald, RSL LifeCare Chair of Ageing at the Australian Catholic University, explores some of the many issues arising from an ageing population, ageing veterans and community health. Many of the projects presented in the book have been awarded Better Practice Awards by the Australian Government and provide inspiration to aged care service providers keen to improve their services. Professor McDonald has developed 'practice-driven research', an approach that fully involves clinical nurses and carers in striving to understand the work they are doing, and to improve on it. This approach has been developed in collaboration with the clinical nurses, therapists and managers at RSL LifeCare, and addresses the issues of relevance and appropriateness of research in solving practical, day-to-day problems within the Aged Care setting. It will appeal to all involved with the aged care industry, particularly managers and leaders at all levels, and also bridges the theory-practice gap by providing an overview of practice-driven research for health sciences students within the Australian University environment.

It is my prayer that as you read this book, you will search your heart, cultivate a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, and close the book knowing whether God is calling you to this incredible, humbling profession called nursing.

Spirituality and Art Therapy

Группа авторов

Reflecting the increasing recognition of the importance of the spiritual in healing, Spirituality and Art Therapy is an exciting exploration of the different ways in which the spiritual forms an essential, life-enhancing component of a well-rounded therapeutic approach. The contributors are leading art therapists who write from diverse perspectives, including Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and shamanic. They explain how their own spiritual and creative influences interact, finding expression in the use of art as a healing agent with specific populations, such as bereaved children, emotionally disturbed adolescents, and the homeless. The relationships between spirituality and visual art, art therapy and transpersonal psychology are examined. Story and image are interwoven in the spiritual journeys of therapists and clients, and suggested creative exercises make this an accessible, practical resource for those who desire to understand and execute an holistic method of therapy. Arguing that art therapists can mediate between the sacred and the mundane, this pioneering book is an affirmation of the transformative power of art therapy.
