Book Reviews of Muscle Energy Techniques with DVD-ROM, 3e
Book Review: Detailed bodywork technique
Summary: 5 Stars
Leon Chaitow offers a great deal of information into the neuromuscular components of our bodies and bodywork. This is a time of investigation into what drives our bodies, rather than imposing our external ideas of how a body should look or behave. Research in this area is clipping along, but Chaitow's work offers foundational concepts as the basis for an overwhelming amount of new theories produced today. Detailed, informative.
Summary of Muscle Energy Techniques with DVD-ROM, 3e
This comprehensive text describes the basis and practice of Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), a widely recognized approach to treating musculoskeletal dysfunction. It describes those manipulative techniques in which a patient, on request, actively uses his or her muscles from a controlled position in a specific direction against a distinct counterforce applied by the practitioner. These techniques are combined from methods used in physical therapy, osteopathy, chiropractic and manual medicine. A companion DVD-ROM includes video clips demonstrating the application of techniques.- Details the background to soft tissue dysfunction and explains the chain reactions which occur as part of such dysfunctions.
- Provides precise assessment and diagnosis guidelines.
- Gives many variations on the safe use of MET in acute, chronic, and rehabilitation settings.
- Explains the use of MET for whole muscle problems, local dysfunction, and joint restrictions.
- Suggests patient self-application methods.
- Includes a companion DVD-ROM with video clips of the author demonstrating the techniques.
- Additional techniques are added to both text and DVD-ROM videos.
- Information is expanded on some of the techniques included in previous edition.
- Content is updated throughout, with reference to the latest published research.
- Four new chapters cover efficacy and research, MET in a massage therapy setting, MET in treatment of athletic injuries, and MET in physical medicine settings.
