Modern Neuromuscular Techniques by Leon Chaitow Pdf

Osteopath Leon Chaitow demonstrates neuromuscular techniques (NMT) as an efficient method of soft tissue manipulation. Involves thumb and/or finger application. Local soft tissue dysfunction has a significant relationship to pain and more general musculoskeletal dysfunction. NMT can be used to assess and treat hypertonic and/or fibrotic soft tissue dysfunction; assist in the elimination of myofascial trigger point activity; and prepare joints for subsequent manipulative attention. Neuromuscular techniques provide a common approach for all bodywork therapists and acupressure practitioners, allowing them to make precise and systemic evaluations of soft tissue problems.

Naturopathic Physical Medicine by Leon Chaitow Pdf

NATUROPATHIC PHYSICAL MEDICINE provides a philosophical naturopathic perspective, as well as practical clinical applications, for manual and physical approaches to health care. A wide range of bodywork and movement approaches and modalities are evaluated in relation to their ability to be appropriately used in naturopathic treatment and rehabilitation settings. The model of care emphasised in this text recognizes that naturopathically oriented therapeutic interventions usually focus on achieving one or all of the following: enhancement of function so that the person, system or part, can better self-regulate in response to adaptive demands; modification or removal of adaptive load factors; and symptomatic relief without creation of significant additional adaptive changes.
