Release Your Pain: 2nd Edition - EBOOK

Dr. Brian James Abelson DC.

Imagine finding a way to spend less time suffering from pain, and more time doing the things you love. Take control of your pain! This long awaited, completely reworked, second edition provides new content for each condition, with over 80 additional pages of information, the addition of new and easier to understand illustrations, updated descriptions about each of the soft-tissue conditions, a deeper explanation of the affected structures in each kinetic chain, and proven effective exercise routines. ========================================= BENEFITING FROM ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUES ========================================= Release Your Pain presents ART (Active Release Techniques) as an innovative and effective approach to addressing such common repetitive strain injuries as carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, knee and shoulder injuries, and back pain. Based on case studies, the book shows how ART locates and breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that cause pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness, and physical dysfunctions associated with repetitive strain injuries. Topics include how and why these injuries occur, and how non-invasive methods succeed where others fail. Each chapter includes black and white photo sequences of therapy techniques, specific exercises, and stretches to help resolve these conditions. ================= TABLE OF CONTENTS ================= Foreword Acknowledgements Chapter 1: Impact of Soft-Tissue Injuries on your Body?

It is typically provided by a range of health care practitioners (Physicians, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Massage Therapists, etc.). See www.activerelease.com if you want to learn to become an ART practitioner. ================================== ‘Release Your Pain’ is an easy-to-use, international best-seller that can help you to make educated health care decisions about your soft-tissue conditions (muscle and joint pain, restricted movements, chronic pain, sports injuries, etc.).
