Physical Therapy

This foundational text introduces the Movement Impairment Syndromes (MIS) classification system developed by Dr. Sahrmann. It provides clinicians with a systematic approach to diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal pain and injury by identifying and correcting subtle patterns of faulty alignment, posture, and movement mechanics.

This ebook provides an introduction to Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM). It details the mechanical and neurophysiological effects of IASTM, assessment, treatment protocols, and specific soft tissue patterns (including the use of The EDGE tool). The text emphasizes that IASTM works primarily by stimulating the nervous system and altering movement thresholds, rather than relying on deep mechanical force to 'break up' scar tissue.

This is the first book to offer in-depth analysis of the use of digital technologies in sport, exercise and physical education; their significance for the relationship between sport, exercise and wider society; and their impact on research in sport, exercise and physical education. Drawing on multi-disciplinary perspectives including from sociology, pedagogy, psychology and related disciplines, this book examines how individuals experience and engage with technology in the context of their physical practices.

A practical guide focusing on the principles and techniques of exercise therapy, edited by leading figures in physiotherapy education.

A clinical guide detailing the assessment and treatment protocols for myofascial dysfunctions, focusing on mobilizing the fascial system.

This book examines the practical applications and theoretical frameworks of industrial therapy, focusing on vocational rehabilitation, ergonomic interventions, workplace injury management, and techniques for safely returning workers to their jobs following injury or illness.

A text focusing on the principles and practice of individualized, client-centered exercise prescription, including access to reproducible forms for practical use.

A comprehensive guide detailing the physical therapy principles and methods for the effective management and rehabilitation of common musculoskeletal disorders.

This book provides a detailed exploration of fascia, defining it as a living tissue and system. It examines its structural role through tensegrity, its microscopic components, anatomical connections (including the fasciomusculoskeletal system and myodural bridge), and its crucial relationship with the nervous system (mechanoreceptors, interoception) and the brain, as well as its connection to the organs.
