Written by educators Helen J. Hislop, Dale Avers, and Marybeth Brown, this classic physical therapy reference now features an Evolve companion website with video clips demonstrating key muscle testing techniques. Drawings and arrows along with clear written directions make it easy to understand and perform muscle testing procedures, allowing you to assess deficits in strength, balance, and range of motion. More than 600 illustrations clearly show testing sequences, muscle anatomy, and muscle innervation. Video clips of over 100 muscle tests on the Evolve companion website demonstrate the art and technique of muscle testing in a clinical setting. Details of muscle anatomy and innervation help in linking muscle topography with function. Helpful Hints and Substitutions boxes provide additional tips and highlight muscle substitutions that may occur during a test to ensure greater accuracy in testing. A constant reference number clearly identifies each muscle in the body, indexed in the Alphabetical List of Muscles by Region as well as in the Ready Reference Anatomy Manual on Evolve, to speed cross-referencing and help you quickly identify any muscle.

Organized into three sections encompassing four parts, this book begins with an overview of the size, extent, and progress of peripheral nerve lesions. This text then discusses the nature of the simple movement pattern seen in muscle function testing. Other chapters consider the conditions for analytical physiotherapy and determination of the work capacity of the part of the body being tested. This book discusses as well the possible errors and mistakes that might occur during testing and might decrease the validity of the assessment. The final chapter deals with the demand for a better and a more rational method to therapeutic exercise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NeuroKinetic Therapy is based on the premise that when an injury has occurred, certain muscles shut down or become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked. This compensation pattern can create pain or tightness. By applying light pressure that the client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle, revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client’s body to remove the compensation patterns—reprogramming the body at the neural level.This easy-to-follow practitioner’s manual presents a series of muscle tests specially designed to uncover and resolve compensation patterns in the body. Author David Weinstock begins by explaining how this approach stimulates the body and mind to resolve pain. Organized anatomically, each section of the book includes clear photographs demonstrating correct positioning of the muscle accompanied by concise explanations and instructions. Labeled anatomical illustrations appear at the end of each section showing the relationships between the muscles and muscle groups. This essential resource is especially useful for physical therapists, chiropractors, orthopedists, and massage therapists looking for new ways to treat underlying causes of pain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simultaneously published as Success Kinesiology, Dowsing for Success and Muscle Testing for Success. All editions virtually the same except for unique titles and covers. To our knowledge, the first success book of muscle-testing exercises. I'm aware of 20 methods of self-muscle-testing. What method do you use? Are you willing to learn? Your Success Profile is a seven points to measure the strength of your two Games in five minutes or less. Use it to pin-point and address your weakest link. This method is compatible with all methods on the Energy Medicine Skill Ladder. Given self-muscle-testing dowsing kinesiology the invisibility of unresolved disturbances, is no longer a big obstacle. The converging of self-muscle-testing with NLP, used in an ecumenical spiritual context, constitutes the first reliable experimental method for uncovering invisible disturbances. Let's keep in mind Energy Medicine methods are reliable primarily in the domain of one person. Success begins at our cell-level-intelligence Bruce Lipton 101 says each cell has not one cell wall, but two. One faces in; the other faces out. The brain of our cells is not DNA; it's both inner and outer-facing cell walls, taken together. Success begins not in your mind but in the dual-perspective of our cells, our outer- and inner-facing cell walls. That's the micro-reality; the macro level is... Success is not one game but TWO If you have a business, one of the most impactful things possible to do, is discerning TWO games of success exist; an Inner Game and an Outer Game of business success exist. If you are a holistic practitioner and you're good at only one Game, you only have half a business. Your Outer Game of Success is your client funnels, how you attract new clients, offers you make them, marketing, promotion, websites, products. If you are not profitable enuf to meet your expenses plus extra, then your Outer Game is weak. Your Inner Game of Success is your 'smiles per day, ' support and nourishment you receive and savor, how well you get your own needs met, relaxing, replenishing, recuperating, your business as a metaphor-mirror of your personal strengths and weaknesses. Your willingness to receive, serve, learn and grow, allowing Angels to do their ministry thru you. If you are not enjoying your client sessions, time off, not learning your life lessons; then, you are losing at the Inner Game of Success. Which Game of Success is stronger with you? Which needs your attention more? Find here hands-on, effective self-muscle-testing exercises to TEST how strong each Game is. Access and clear your own blocks and obstacles to abundance. Please TEST how strong each of your Games is. Address your weaker Game first. These are hands-on, effective self-muscle-testing exercises to access and clear blocks your obstacles to abundance. Your profitability is limited by the less functional of your Two Games. High profitability reflects how Coherent, Integrated and Aligned you are, on the inside. This is the 'new CIA, ' how to make your aura brighter. Find here a seven-point hologram of material success incorporating both Games. Now you can measure your Success Profile in five minutes or less and pin-point your weakest link. The Success profile is compatible with all methods on the Energy Medicine Skill Ladder. Success for self-employed healers & coaches is the difference between a sustainable, profitable holistic enterprise--and a part time hobby. This is: - self-muscle-testing applied to success topics, - Unblocking the channels by which we receive and manifest, - Deepest logical level of the Two Games is at the cell level - Success from the cellular level on up, - The TWO Games of Success each of us must play, - Face fully into your own River of Abundance
