Direct Release Myofascial Technique: An Illustrated Guide For Practitioners

Rating:
Summary: Excellent resource for Deep Tissue Massage
Review: The foreword suggested that this is 'not just another book' & and is one of the first to 'spill the beans' on Rolfing techniques. However much of the techniques are covered in Art Riggs' book & video, although Riggs acknowledge that his book is based on Stanborough's manual.
It is written in a philosophical way, and aim to only present the techniques without the details of anatomy. Comprises of 2 sections: The Basics, and Techniques. The basics describe the philosophy of muscle dysfunction & the effect of myofascial release. The techniques covered muscles of different parts of body, with an attempt to give a clear & detailed instructions.
Stanborough demonstrates his communication skill on how to ask the client to perform movement: 'Take your tailbone away towards the wall behind you'.
My wishlist: Videos will be superb to accompany this manual.
Excellent resource to add to your deep tissue book & video collection.
